This is your mind on drugs

You never said his theory is incorrect? You just did a couple of posts ago. I'm afraid your memory thing is kicking in again. Allow me to refresh your memory.

You wrote,

"I may not agree with Rupert Sheldrake's theory but right now I am reading Sheldrake's The Presence of the Past, which, instead of persuading me to Sheldrake's point of view, further reinforces my belief that he is wrong, simply because he ignores many facets of modern physics."

So, which is it - his theory is correct, his theory is incorrect, or you're just confused? I know, you'll try to keep an open mind. LOL. How does it feel, being the Poster Boy for the Backfire Effect, you know, what with "instead of persuading me to Sheldrake's point of view, further reinforces my belief he is wrong." The very definition of the Backfire Effect...now you can say you learned at least one thing today.
