I think this guy is great and it helps that he has that English accent that we all tend to take as the voice of authority.

And here is Sheldrake's response to the ensuing controversy around his TED talk:

What an up-side-down world we live in where the "skeptics" are behaving dogmatically and those who are truly skeptical are being criticised by them.

The other banned TEDx talk. "Altered states of conciousness"

This is more like the Science of Delusion. I'm posting it here because he mentions Sheldrake.

And also because I think there's some really helpful perspectives here.

I absolutely agree with him about modern art - what a scam.

An interesting post in light of current discussions about judgement. I think this is kind close to the line but I think most of what this guy has to say falls into the discernment camp.
