The gist of the story is that a man stabbed the keynote speaker of a conference on Science and Consciousness here over the weekend. The speaker is fine - he was stabbed in the leg, but the quotes from the other people who were there made me laugh.
Especially these lines -
Hirano had been attending the 10th International Conference on Science and Consciousness. Other attendees said he had been acting oddly. They said he confronted Sheldrake earlier this week, telling him he heard voices and saw demons. Another featured speaker at the conference told the man he was "full of negative energy" and counseled him to "calm down," said Evan Mecham, an attendee from Broomfield, Colo.
Many people attending the conference appeared shaken by the incident and declined to comment. A man who helped subdue Hirano would only say, "The creator will take care of the rest of it." Attendees gathered for a prayer session before leaving La Fonda on Wednesday afternoon.
I don't know - maybe you have to live here in Santa Fe to know the depths (heights?) of woo-woo people we have here, but this just cracks me up. Negative energy, indeed.:rofl:
