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

Thanks for the link.

This guy is obviously a luddite retard. How dare he have a broad and expansive education and draw his own conclusions from the information he had acquired.

I had a wonderful time at Harvard. I soon discovered that in the United States, university students are treated like children - told exactly what to read and then tested to make sure they have read it. In England I hadn’t been treated like that since I was fifteen. I didn’t like that system at all. So I decided I didn’t need the master’s degree I was supposed to be getting. Anyway, I could simply buy one from Cambridge University. If you have a Cambridge B.A. you have to do only two things to get an M.A.: stay alive for three and a third years and save up five pounds, the price of the degree. The result was that I spent a wonderful year at Harvard freed from the tyranny of exams, tests, and so on. I could do exactly as I liked, go to any lectures in any subject, read anything. It was wonderful. Unfortunately, very few people have this experience at universities because they’re nearly always on treadmills.

I also hate treadmills.
