(17,505 posts)A very successful one.
And if this dog esp baloney was peer reviewed.... then Randi wouldn't have said anything and/or there wouldn't be any problem.
Sheldrake's Wiki entry convinces me he's a woo-master who bases his conclusions on his "morphic resonance" baloney.
He is typical paranormal stuff.... with mainstream debunking his stuff and other out-there folks praising it.
But y'know, science has been studying parapsych for centuries now. Real science is robust.... it learns thing, then they get tweaked and added to and subtracted from as the years go by and it "moves".... it is robust. Parapsych goes nowhere. It's just a vague as it was in the 1800's. It doesn't even feel like real science.
I'll stick with the successful Randi.... he makes sense. Sheldrake sound way more phony.
BTW.... the dog experiments were found to have many problems and debunked by the respectable scientific community. (no doubt for some nefarious super-secret underground reason!)
