Where involved.
This lowers the probablity that Antoine Lutz manipulated the scientific data to fit the expectations, as we have articulated a hypothesis:
Since would this not be highly risky for Antoine Lutz and his scientific career?
But if meditation research would be a hot topic, would not the Swiss Federal Insitute of Technology in Zurich participate with more people than Alex Gamma?:
Alex Gamma before meditating?
Alex Gamma after meditating?
And also Novartis Basel with participate with the Novartis CEO Vasant Narasimhan?
Vasant Narasimhan before meditating?
Vasant Narasimhan after meditating?
- But does not also the face of Novartis CEO Vasant Narasimhan seem to never change. even after meditating?
- Never change as the face of Swiss Abt Werlen?
- Or Joseph Maria Bonnemain, spiritual leader of the Swiss Catholic Church in Chur?
Would not Novartis have done research on meditation a long time ago, if it would be a hot topic, and sell products such as for instance Novartis Muse headbands as well?
So will meditation research be more than a student project, as Arnaud Delorme suggested it would be in the future?
And if not, will:
- Altered Traits 2 with the effect of 40 min. pe published in 17 years from now?
- Altered Traits 3 with the effect of 60 min. be published in 34 years from now?
- And will Altered Traits book be published up to a a full-time training of 24 hours?
- If we look a bit a the projects of Antoine Lutz and his papers on Google Scholar:
https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=biXgcqQAAAAJ&hl=de&oi=ao
- Is Antoine Lutz not some kind of «professor for meditation research»?
- But where is his research institute and his fund for meditation research?
- And is Antoine Lutz, as well as his .cv controlled by a marketing software?
- But still Antoine Lutz does not sell any Muse headbands, and also no g.tec Unicorn Blacks.
- And is one of the main goals but also problem to find out how money can be made out out of meditation research?
