Hi Telmo Menezes Sheldrake, as you might surmise, is totally empirical, which is the irrefutable tactic to disprove materialism.

I personally think so. Thanks Roger! I'm intrigued and will investigate further when time permits. Another more mundane explanation might be related to the effect of "knowing that something is possible". I believe there is some research on this effect. In sports, for example, when someone breaks a psychological barrier (e.g. running a mile under 4 minutes), it's not unusual for other athletes to replicate the record soon enough. But I'm talking out of my ass, as you Americans say. I'll read for myself. I agree with you that too much skepticism can be counterproductive. As Carl Sagan put it, there's an ideal mix of skepticism and wonder.

Could it be that he's just misinterpreting a probabilistic distribution? Suppose the amount of time it takes people to solve a puzzle follows a normal distribution. As time passes and we ride the slope to the mean, we can get the mistaken impression that people solving the puzzle are causing more people to solve it. I hope I'm wrong by the way! I love weird experimental results.

This is ridiculed by scientists. But IMHO morphic resonance could be understood as modification of random behavior (on a platonic or Leibnizian shared mental plane) subjected to a lawful universe, such as is found in natural selection through evolution As an explanation, consider this analogy. They've put hidden optical speed detectors on my neighborhood streets to slow down traffic. If you don't see the detectors and speed through, the detectors will flash photo your license plate and electronically issue you a speed ticket. Gradually everybody tends to slow down to meet the legal speed limit. A wild speculation is perhaps quantum mechanics behavior gradually adapts to einstein behavior in such a way.
