    HBH 67: How to Build a Ghost: The Philip Experiment
    Jul 27 2026
    In 1972, eight people in Toronto invented a seventeenth-century ghost named Philip Aylesford. They gave him a face, a tragic history, and a personality—then gathered weekly to contact him. For nearly a year, nothing happened. Then the table began to knock, move, and answer questions. Was Philip evidence of psychokinesis, unconscious muscular action, collective expectation, or something stranger? This episode examines the remarkable Philip Experiment and what it may reveal about how human minds can turn a shared story into something that feels—and sometimes behaves—as though it were real.

    Jan 5 2026
    How well do you know your future self?

    How much do you like yout future self?

    The answer to these two questions has implications for how you plan and provide for that person.

    Today, we cover the work of Hal Hershfield and others about how well or poorly we identify with Future Us, and what it means for how short- or far-sighted we are in our decision-making.
