The Science Delusion

At TEDxWhitechapel on January 13, 2013, Dr. Rupert Sheldrake gave a provocative talk in which he suggests that modern science is based on ten dogmas, and makes the case that none of them hold up to scrutiny. His premise is that these dogmas — including, for example, that nature is mechanical and purposeless, that the laws and constants of nature are fixed, and that psychic phenomena like telepathy are impossible — have held back the pursuit of knowledge.

The TED Scientific Board removed this TEDx talk from all the main "TED Talk" media distribution channels with the excuse that Dr. Sheldrake's presentation was "far-removed from mainstream scientific thinking."

"Science Set Free: 10 Paths to New Discovery"
(Originally published to acclaim in the UK as "The Science Delusion")
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.
