Deepak Chopra’s Ridiculous Nonsense
By Paul Thagard, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of Philosophy, University of Waterloo
Deepak Chopra is a best-selling author who has become rich and famous by offering a combination of New Age mysticism, alternative medicine, evidence-free self-help, and what some have termed “quantum quackery.” His recent book Metahuman has the appealing subtitle Unleashing Your Infinite Potential. Here are four of his central claims that run counter to scientific evidence.
Claim 1: “Consciousness is fundamental.” (p. 17) “Existence and consciousness are the same.” (p. 137)
Chopra’s only support for his claim that everything that exists is conscious is a quotation from some physicists who interpreted quantum mechanics as showing that consciousness pervades reality. Quantum theory has been astonishingly successful in experimental predictions, but its interpretation is highly controversial and there are dozens of alternatives to the consciousness-based approach. My bet is that the reconciliation of quantum theory with relativity theory will yield a new interpretation that puts consciousness back where it belongs—in animals with complex neural networks.
I argued in a previous blog post that we have good reason to ascribe consciousness to humans and other animals. In another post, I criticized the information integration theory of consciousness by implying it to toilets. Consciousness is real and important, but not ubiquitous.
Claim 2: “Human potential is infinite because consciousness has no boundaries.” (p. 77)
I thought of calling this blog “Deepak Chopra’s Infinite Nonsense”—but that would be an exaggeration because Chopra’s remarks are not infinite since they are confined to the millions of words in his books, lectures, and website. Human potential is also not infinite because we are limited by the size of our brains, our mortal bodies, our physical environments, and our social circles. As far as we know, consciousness has so far evolved only in species of animals on planet Earth. Rather than trying to unleash infinite potential, people should strive to improve their own lives and lives of others by changing societies to make them better at satisfying vital human needs.
Claim 3: “You rule your brain, not the other way around.” (p. 95)
Chopra has a passing acquaintance with current neuroscience, but asserts that you are fundamentally independent of your brain. In contrast, evidence is accumulating that all kinds of human thinking including problem-solving, learning, creativity, and consciousness result from neural mechanisms, as I argue at length in my book Brain-Mind. These neural mechanisms interact with environments and other people to produce our mental accomplishments.
Claim 4: “The human experience of space, time, matter, and energy—they were created in our collective consciousness.” (p. 126)
Contrary to Carl Jung and Jordan Peterson, there is absolutely no evidence for the existence of collective consciousness. People are unable to directly share their own conscious experiences with others, but use many kinds of verbal and nonverbal communication to convey to others what we are thinking and experiencing. Our experience and understanding of space, time, matter, and energy are partly the result of our sense organs but are much enhanced by good scientific theories such as relativity and thermodynamics.
If there is no evidence for Chopra’s central claims, why are they so popular? The psychological explanation, as for so many other forms of endarkenment, is motivated inference. People unreflectively find support for beliefs that satisfy their personal goals such as being happy, prosperous, and immortal. Chopra’s offer of infinite potential suggests an easy path that requires only gullibility and willingness to spend money on his books, seminars, and nutritional supplements.
But you do not need his ornate metaphysics to appreciate the benefits of a healthy diet, exercise, and strong social connections. It’s fine to enjoy Ayurvedic placebos but don’t mistake them for medicine.
The scientific image of limited human potential is not as cheery as Chopra’s picture, but it is far more consistent with reliable evidence and provides a much more effective procedure to making the world a better place to live in. Instead of pursuing your own “direct path” to cosmic consciousness, work to change your own thinking and the minds of others to produce a society capable of overcoming dangerous problems such as climate change, pandemics, and autocratic leaders.

Mary Magdalene and the Return of the Divine Goddess with Tricia McCannon...

RE: Aripiprazole Abilify 400mg depot injection monthly
atypical antipsychotic medication
Tegretol Carbamazepine modified release tablets 200mg twice
daily as mood stabiliser
Dear Dr Cameron,
Further to our appointment at your surgery last week I have
been in touch with my next of kin Dr Simon Rumary (01622 859541) to ask for his
assistance in my mental healthcare at SW Kent Adult Mental Health Service,
Highlands House, 10-12 Calverley Park Gardens, Tunbridge Wells, Kent, TN1 2JN
(01892 709211) under the direction of Consultant Psychiatrist Dr Spazak-Lee and
my CPN Danewahr (Dennis) Luchman.
To say I am totally dissatisfied with the treatment I have
received there since 1998 is a gross understatement and not for the first time
in the last 24 years I seriously fear for my life in their hands if I continue
to engage with them. Therefore, I propose that I seek my mental healthcare
needs in the private sector and have today contacted the Priory Hospital at
Ticehurst House, Wadhurst, TN3 7HU (01580 200391) ticehurst@priorygroup.com Freephone
(0800 280 8106) General enquiries: (0808 115 5259) and my first port of call is
my GP, to keep him up to date with my actions and intent and to graciously ask
for a referral.
Previously Dr Tracey has referred me to a Dr Rowlands at
Godden Green clinic in Sevenoaks in 2010 and he was an eminent Psychiatrist
from the Royal College of Psychiatry who conducted a mental health assessment
on myself and my partner Paula French (0759 325 0958). To my amazement he
confirmed an NHS misdiagnosis for me and was satisfied that Paula did not have
any mental illnesses whatsoever. Armed with Dr Rowlands report and an
assessment by an independent doctor from the mental health tribunal service in
August 2012 I was given the result by the Judge as misdiagnosis upheld at my
Priority House tribunal which was the equivalent to a court of law and had a
clerk to the court in attendance. The Kent and Medway NHS and Social Care
Partnership Trust have refused since 2012 to furnish me with the tribunal
result but in 2020 they confirmed that they still had the result, but the
tribunal service forbade them to pass it on to me under information
commissioner’s office rules in I suspect a conspiracy to defraud me of my
compensation that is now surely due. I am asking you as well to try and obtain
a copy for your own records as I am being treated with toxic waste dump
antipsychotic medication for a mental illness, I have proved I do not have and
if you are happy to give me a referral to the private sector then Lamberhurst
surgery will play an important role in my continued recovery and mental health
wellness. In the Down we trust.
Regarding my mental illness, it is in the private healthcare
system Unipolar on the high side (Mania) treated with Tegretol Carbamazepine
prolonged release tablets 200mg twice daily for mood stabiliser which you are
already prescribing for me. I most recently had my diagnosis confirmed by a Dr
Cohen at Godden Green clinic, Sevenoaks who was able to explain why the NHS
Psychiatrists had refused to accept my private diagnosis of Unipolar (Mania)
yet continued to treat me for Bipolar Affective Disorder. The NHS uses the
United Nations manual on mental disorders which does not include my very rare
mental illness Unipolar (Mania), however the private Psychiatrists use the AMA
(American Psychiatric Association) DSM (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of
Mental Disorders) V which lists it.
If you could refer me to the Priory, the referrals team is
(0800 840 3219). info@priorygroup.com
thank you. I contacted information@drugwatch.com
(888) 645-1617 for confirmation of the side effects I suffer from and sent them
this email:

I think you get the picture that dropping the anti-psychotic
should positively affect the illnesses you are treating me for. I do not
concern myself with seeking a no win, no fee solicitor to sue the NHS but the
hospital trust can compensate me, and I will donate it to Bipolar UK where I am
a Media Ambassador.
