Hagelin was the Natural Law Party candidate for US President in 2000.
Essentially, regardless of his phd, his party is along the lines of the maharishi school of management type stuff.
Take a bunch of people, have them mediate along hindu lines, and then it'll work, because hinduism is the real religion.
Its like prayer. Actually, it is prayer.
And it doesn't work. His group did a study in DC, where they prayed for a decrease in violence in the city. Violent incidents went
up. Not
down, not the same, but increased. Then they said 'well things would've been even worse if we hadn't prayed for peace'
Its not scientific, and the claim by them that it is when it clearly isn't makes them a pseudoscientific organization.
"Send me your money" say the preists.
