I’ll tell ya, I am more worried about that Noetic Sciences connection than whether he’s a Commie, a Troofer, or, even a Loofah.

FYI…

“The Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS) was co-founded in 1973 by former astronaut Edgar Mitchell and industrialist Paul N. Temple[1][2] to encourage and conduct research on human potentials.[3] Institute programs include “extended human capacities,” “integral health and healing,” and “emerging worldviews.” This includes research into topics such as spontaneous remission, meditation, consciousness, alternative healing practices, spirituality, human potential, psychic abilities and survival of consciousness after bodily death, among others.[4] The institute’s name is derived from the Greek word nous, meaning direct or inner knowing, a reference to intuition.”

Van Jones position as a Fellow with this organization, and the fact that he is overseeing 30 billion dollar slated to “green jobs” creation, jobs which evidently would have a lot of foundation in basic science, I see Van Jones as no different than a right-wing politician who promotes a creationist agenda.

But, that’s just me.
