The bar is very low indeed
Rupert Sheldrake attempts to convince us that science is just as much bunk as anything else and ends up expressing something which is more redolent of the works of Lewis Carroll. Its batshit mental.

He used to be a proper biologist
And a very good one, according t Wikipedia. Then he went off the rails a bit.
His old colleagues at Clare College gave him a bit of a sledging: ‘..Not that they were aggressively hostile; they just made fun of it. Whenever I said something like, "I've just got to go and make a telephone call," they said, "Ha, ha, why bother? Do it by morphic resonance!"[8]’.

I got the distinct impression he was
setting up theories as Immutable Laws then finding an exception, which is then used to allow the woo in.
Also Lewis Carroll quote about Laws was silly.
I guess it sells well to conspiracy/rebel/kidult audience who want to be different.

My curiosity is piqued. I'm going for it!

Struggled, strained, and made it as long as i could...
...but had to concede with the 'rats learn things at the same time' bit that he's pretty much in the same pigeonhole as the timecube guy.
