I met Sheldrake at the Kronia conference in Laughlin Nev. last summer; one of the brightest people I've ever come across.

Thanks for the note!

In general, "pop" scientists scare me because it's usually impossible to separate "fact" from social/political agenda. But Sheldrake is just so darn interesting and seems to steer clear of politics generally (although he certainly involves himself in unpleasant New Age stuff) that I've always enjoyed reading him.

For lurkers who might want to know more about Rupert Sheldrake, check out his website: the website of Rupert Sheldrake, Ph.D.

The site is no replacement for his books, but it does give you an overview of the guy. (Although he doesn't flat out give space to James Randi, he at least acknowledges Randi's views of his work (under the "Controversies" link), and provides excerpts from some of his e-mail exchanges with Randi.)
