AI Thread Summary
Noetic science is widely regarded as a pseudoscience rather than a legitimate scientific field. It is often associated with alternative philosophies of mind and lacks empirical support. The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) is mentioned as an organization that promotes these ideas, but it is criticized for prioritizing profit over scientific validity. Discussions on this topic are generally discouraged in forums focused on mainstream STEM education, as noetic science does not align with established scientific principles.

Welcome to PF!

As a starter, PF doesn't discuss these kinds of topics in general. We specialize in students working through mainstream STEM courses with questions on science and math.

For Noetic Science: No its not a science, its more of an alternative philosophy of mind:

Noetic Science is pseudoscience promoted by Dan Brown in The Lost Symbol. Give no consideration to it.
 
alright, but then what is IONS?

It's the "institute" that promotes it. Notice they have a nice big link to their store on their website. Lots of money to be made in junk science.
 
Everyone can start their own institute to promote whatever they want.
 
As has been explained, it's not scientifically valid and is against our policy to discuss.
