Rupert Sheldrake on Morphic Resonance, Telepathy & The Extended Mind

Is nature based on laws or on habits? In this episode, Rogier talks with the world-famous biologist and author Rupert Sheldrake. We dive deep into his revolutionary theory of morphic resonance. Sheldrake explains why he believes our memory is not stored in our brains, how dogs and babies are telepathically connected to their environment, and why modern science is hitting a dead end in a purely materialistic worldview.
