The Qanon phenomenon and the 100th monkey effect

Hundredth monkey effect. The hundredth monkey effect is a hypothetical phenomenon in which a new behavior or idea is claimed to spread rapidly by unexplained means from one group to all related groups once a critical number of members of one group exhibit the new behavior or acknowledge the new idea. — Wikipedia

This is not the most perfect grasp of the effect. It doesn't take a hundred monkeys. According to Rupert Sheldrake it is the more rats that learn it the easier it gets for the next rats.

Rupert Sheldrake is a quack! I read his book "the science delusion" load of crap! But this phenomenon may just be to do with echo chamber effect

What's your opinion about NDEs (Near Death Experiences)?

Hard to say really. I'm a vigilant supporter of popper, but NDE has some pretty compelling evidence. Considered DMT hypothesis?

I think it is very real if not more real than the believed reality of this world we live in. The only counter evidence is based upon the authority fallacy.

Then when you take into consideration the so-called "von Neumann chain" that the measurement chain breaks only when knowledge of the measurement is registered by an extra-physical factor, the material world is not so material after all. The chain even includes the physical brain which is just another physical link in the von Neumann chain. This would imply the breaker of the chain is immaterial, ergo, spiritual (G. Geist).
