M31 Capital x Reign present: Heretical Science Speaker Series (Maaneli Derakhshani)

​M31 Capital and Reign invite you to an evening exploring consciousness, psi, and the limits of a purely physical account of the mind.

​We’ll begin with an hour of cocktails and conversation, followed by a 45-minute presentation and 15 minutes of Q&A. Afterward, guests are welcome to continue mingling or head upstairs to the bar.

​The talk will consider whether consciousness and psi—particularly extrasensory perception—can be understood as purely physical phenomena governed by the laws of physics. After carefully defining “physical,” “consciousness,” and “psi,” Maaneli will compare the defining features of conscious experience and psi phenomena with the basic characteristics of the physical world.

​The presentation will examine published meta-analyses of Remote Viewing and Ganzfeld experiments, along with illustrative examples from both fields. It will also clarify the relationship between ordinary consciousness and psi within these experimental methods before addressing the central question: Does psi point beyond the physical world?
