Rupert Sheldrake - The Science Delusion
Talk given in 2019, at the Bridport Literary & Scientific Institute.
Buy the book "The Science Delusion / Science Set Free" [here](https://www.sheldrake.org/books-by-rupert-sheldrake/the-science-delusion-science-set-free).
2013 Book of the Year, Scientific and Medical Network
In Science Set Free (originally published in the UK as The Science Delusion), Dr. Rupert Sheldrake shows the ways in which science is being constricted by assumptions that have, over the years, hardened into dogmas. Such dogmas are not only limiting, but dangerous for the future of humanity.
1. Nature is mechanical
2. Matter is unconscious
3. Laws of nature are fixed
4. The total amount of matter & energy is always the same
5. Nature is purposeless
6. All inheritance is material
7. Memories are material traces
8. Minds are confined to brains
9. Psychic phenomena are illusory
10. Only mechanistic medicine works
According to these principles, all of reality is material or physical; the world is a machine, made up of inanimate matter; nature is purposeless; consciousness is nothing but the physical activity of the brain; free will is an illusion; God exists only as an idea in human minds, imprisoned within our skulls.
But should science be a belief-system, or a method of enquiry? Sheldrake shows that the materialist ideology is moribund; under its sway, increasingly expensive research is reaping diminishing returns while societies around the world are paying the price.
In the skeptical spirit of true science, Sheldrake turns the ten fundamental dogmas of materialism into exciting questions, and shows how all of them open up startling new possibilities for discovery.
**Reviews**
> "Thirty years after his first heretical books, Sheldrake's new one, Science Set Free, is a landmark achievement. No science writing has inspired me more." — Deepak Chopra, San Francisco Chronicle
> "Sheldrake drags ten of the most powerful dogmas out of the basement and into the light of day; and does science, humanity and the world a large, a considerable favour." — The Independent
> "For those of us who are suspicious of the claims of materialism it's astonishing, and also heartening, to hear a scientist agree that it's a hidebound ideology, dismiss the belief in determinism as a 'delusion' and call on the 'high priests' of science to abandon their 'fantasy of omniscience'." — Robert McLuhan

VERNO
vernon-coleman-hoax-of-century
Just adding this video to let people know about Vernon's new channel on BrandNewTube(he left Youtube because he didn't want to tolerate their bs anymore, rightly so. Hopefully more do the same). You can find him [here](https://brandnewtube.com/@DrVernonColeman). It's import to hear a sane voice in these crazy times. He has a good sense of humour and drops plenty of truth bombs(so the BBC don't allow him on anymore).
His website is at [https://www.vernoncoleman.com/](https://www.vernoncoleman.com/). It looks like he makes it himself, it's a bit 90's looking.

FOREM
foreman
FOREMAN is the definitive feature documentary on legendary boxer and pitchman George Foreman. Framed around his improbable comeback, it begins with his journey from "the Bloody Fifth" in Houston, one of the most violent and dangerous neighborhoods in America, to Olympic gold and the heavyweight championship.
But a shocking defeat in "[the Rumble in the Jungle](lbry://@pjbtoo#9/When-We+Were+Kings#9)" at the hands of Muhammad Ali will change his life forever. Just 28 years old, George Foreman lays down his gloves, retires from boxing, and becomes a preacher on the streets of Houston. For the next ten years, he doesn't so much as ball his fists, let alone step in the ring.
So a decade later, when George, now a minister, pushing 40, and tipping the scales at over 300 pounds, announces that he is not only returning to boxing but will once again become heavyweight champion of the world, he is met with laughter. Thus begins the most unlikely comeback in the history of professional sports, an epic journey that results in George, at 45, becoming the oldest heavyweight champion in history.
Equally unlikely and remarkable is George's personal transformation from reviled villain to national treasure - an arc that culminates with the most successful celebrity marketing endorsement of all time. FOREMAN is the unbelievable story of the man behind the grill, an almost-Biblical tale of redemption, resurrection, and one man's impossible dream.

THE M
The-Magic-Mushroom-Christmas-Theory
Christmas is the most iconic holiday in the world and it’s full of strange traditions. Activities like hanging stockings and singing songs about flying reindeer have become so deeply ingrained in Christmas, that we don't even wonder where they came from.
When we trace the origin of Christmas traditions, we find that many of them may be linked to the rituals surrounding the Psychedelic mushroom, Amanita muscaria. The large red, white spotted Amanita Muscaria is the most recognizable mushroom on earth. Throughout history and across many cultures, people valued this mysterious mushroom for its powerful hallucinogenic properties.

ANCIE
Ancient-History-of-Ireland
Ireland has a rich and fascinating ancient history; from the great megalithic structures of the Neolithic, like Newgrange, to the spectacular gold jewellery of the Indo-European Bell Beaker folk, the weapon hoards of the Irish Bronze Age, the enigmatic La Tene Celtic art of the Iron Age and the intricate knot-work of the Hiberno-Norse in the Irish Viking age. I look at all of these in this brief account of the history of Ireland, and then I discover a gothic castle called Knockdrinn, in which my ancestors lived, and which local people believe to be haunted. Finally, I read some spooky accounts of the ghostly creatures of the castle taken from the folklore collection at University College Dublin.

Paul did want to issue one correction: Folks, On this broadcast, I made a misstatement. Although the divergence of basidiomycota is estimated to be as far back at 1.2 billion years ago, the fossil, Gondwanagaricities magnificus is estimated to be more than 100 million years old. "Molecular clock estimates suggest the divergence of the Basidiomycota around 500 Ma to 1.2 billion years [26] and G. magnificus establishes the earliest calibration point so far for the Agaricales, with a new minimum age of 113–120 Ma."

THE T
The-Tzolkin-and-The-Haab-13-Moon-Calendar-Explained
Learn about a calendar that is mathematically more beautiful and one that is more in tune with nature. If we were to create a calendar today, we would never create one which requires you to recite a poem to know how many days are in the month. 13 months, each month has 28 days, simple. 4 weeks in every month, every month starts and ends on the same day.
During the French revolution one of the things they changed was to bring in a new calendar system. If you want people to know they are living in a new age, one of the recommended things to do is to change the calendar.
Discover the magic of the 13 Moon Calendar! Find out your galactic signature using this website [here](https://www.icandosomething.com/mayancalendar/).
