Banned TED Talk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake
#12
RE: Banned TED Talk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake
Not just full of shit but also straw... it was cringeworthy to watch that video. I've had that book sitting (borrowed) on my shelf for ages, meaning to read it, but watching that video, has put me right off. His chapter 7 for instance, paints the picture that science sees the brain like a traditional computer, and is failing to find memory trace/'stores' from that perspective, which is just flat out wrong... it's not looking for that at all... total straw man that's making my blood boil.
