Also, I'm skeptical of the academic merit of any video that is underscored by spooky music.

It's the usual pseudoscientific bs. Most parts of it have already been debunked; there is a whole blog dedicated to debunking Thrive.

Can you guys send me links to the debunking of this or similar? Not in an dick way, I'd just be interested to read!

Thanks for posting that DMT doc too Josh! I've read/heard a lot about it so I'm gonna give that a watch

Thrive:

Good for information on topics like this are:

http://www.csicop.org/

and

www.scienceblogs.com

You'll find a lot of debunking of pseudoscientific "theories" there, such as homeopathy, alternative medicine in general, conspiracy theories (9/11, HAARP, NWO/Illuminati) and other claims that are made in movies like "Thrive" (e.g. "free-energy-machines").

Related to the US-sceptics I also recommend Michael Shermer:

It's also good to check out the background of the people involved in movies like Thrive and the one posted in the first post.
A good site for this is www.esowatch.com (unfortunately, most articles are written in german) and google.com

You'll find that extremely often, those people don't have the scientific degress they claim to have. Or they bought their degrees from non-existing universities.
