Banned TED Talk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake

[Pat Mustard]

I see a lot of people claiming this guy doesn't know what he is talking about, but I don't see why he doesn't know what he is talking about.

Because he talks about stuff like the scientific method in such a way that you know he's referencing what they want to be than what they are. For examples from what I read of him he believes scientists hold to a dogma as inflexible and irrational as that of hardline catholics, despite the fact that the whole point of the scientific method is to make the survival of dogma imposdible, at which it is impressively successful. Individual scientists can be and are dogmatic, but when something comes along which disprovesdl their thinking it gets trampled. Sometimes it takes years but it always happens.
