Banned TED Talk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake
#24
RE: Banned TED Talk: The Science Delusion - Rupert Sheldrake
Probably, but even if he was a super swell guy he'd still have this particular bit as wrong as he could get it. If we imagined that every item on the list was legit and we removed anyone or anything that confirmed or conformed to them, it wouldn;t change any observation from which we conclude any of those items or lend credence to the counterclaims they;re meant to support.

Telepathy would still fail to appear, rocks would still sit there doing nothing, people with trauma would continue to suffer memory loss, and we'd still see no news reports from beyond the grave. The trouble with these items( and items like them) isn;t that theres any dogma holding them down..it;s that they fail to hold themselves up.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
