AHAH!

Gerald Edelman draws the line at lobster level, disenfranchises the
lobster from consciousness, perhaps because he boils them and eats
them or something."

Sheldrake Stabbed:

"In April 2008, Sheldrake was stabbed in the leg during a lecture at the La Fonda Hotel in Santa Fe, New Mexico. He was presenting as part of the tenth annual International Conference on Science and Consciousness. Sheldrake has since recovered. The assailant, Japanese born laborer Kazuki Hirano, allegedly stabbed Sheldrake because he believed that Sheldrake was using mind control techniques on him. He had followed Sheldrake to New Mexico from England to purportedly ask him how to block mental telepathy when he stabbed him. Sheldrake fears that if he is released and extradited to Japan, he will continue to stalk him.[8]"

But Sheldrake is using mind control. He was using formative causation to control the poor guy's mind.

That said, I'm glad Sheldrake has recovered.

This is definitely random but I found it interesting. "Fitz" was used by British royals for their illegitimate offspring.
Quote:
In later times, similar forms were coined for members of the English and British royal family, who historically lacked a surname, and particularly for illegitimate children of kings and princes (Fitzroy, son of the king; Fitzjames, son of the king James II of England; and FitzClarence, son of the Duke of Clarence)
Fitz - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just learned about this site called Closer to Truth. It contains a bunch of video productions with discussions from all points of view about consciousness and the cosmos.

When this was first announced back in January what he said was far less confrontational:
Quote:
The reasons for my relinquishing the position are many but the overlying issue is that I simply no longer have the time to dedicate to the job. As a member of the ’sandwich generation’: a single parent of a young child who must also deal with aging parents, my time has become very limited...I will be occupying the role of MUFON Business Manager which will be far less demanding of my time.
According to his most recent blog post he's started a new group.

Which is why hundreds of military personnel and pilots, 1-2 astronauts and 2 former presidents have claimed to see UFOs.
