If you've read The New Inquisition by Robert Anton Wilson, you know that there is quite a bit of ink about Rupert Sheldrake and his theories.
Infinite Loops -- the podcast of investor, philanthropist and RAW fan Jim O’Shaughnessy -- has a new episode up, an interview of Rupert Sheldrake. Available at the link and you can also download a transcript.
Early in the interview, after a discussion about Sir John Maddox and his denunciations of Sheldrake:
Jim O’Shaughnessy: There's a wonderful book, I don't know if you've read it, by Robert Anton Wilson, called The New Inquisition: Irrational Rationalism and the Citadel of Science.
Rupert Sheldrake: Yes, I have read it. Yes. I mean it is a very good account of this thing. I mean, it is not just me and it's not just Maddox. It's a much bigger issue really as Wilson points out.
