We are publishing this paper volunteered by J.D. Wong, a Georgia businessman, that makes a strong, well-researched case that government subsidies for Amtrak should be terminated. In his opinion, only a couple of long distance train routes are potentially sustainable, and that a reliance on standard rail cars, rather than sleeper cars, is a business mistake that mainly reflects political influence.

The Immortal Mind: An Interview with Neurosurgeon Dr. Michael

Robert J. Marks II
May 22, 2025
Is the mind more than the brain? Is there a scientific case for the existence of the soul? On this episode, host Dr. Robert J.

May 19, 2025
Is your mind more than just your brain? Does the soul actually exist? These questions have been pondered for millennia. What does the latest scientific research suggest? On this ID The Future, renowned neurosurgeon Dr. Michael Egnor begins a conversation with host Andrew McDiarmid about his new book The Immortal Mind: A Neurosurgeon’s Case for the Existence of the Soul. Egnor makes a powerful case that our capacity for thought, reason, and free will points to something beyond mere brain function. Dr. Egnor begins by clearly defining key terms like brain, mind, and soul, distinguishing the brain as an organ from the soul, which he defines as the principle of life encompassing everything characterizing a living person, including reason and free will.
