Hi Platonist Guitar Cowboy You've obviously never watched one of Sheldrake's lectures. All of his speculations are supported with empirical data. You'll find some of it on his website, others in his books and lectures.
I watched the first hour of McKenna's lecture as given below, It was essentially a promo for taking drugs, and it showed no data, so finding him distasteful after watching for an hour, I gave up. So where's all of McKenna's data ? I think he died about a decade ago of some brain problem (could it have been from taking drugs?). His brother became a drug addict also, don't know what happened to him.

I personally think so. Hi Everythingsters, When things get a little fringe, I want the best bang for my buck (time reading/listening in this case). Here Sheldrake only delivers when held in check by McKenna and Abraham, even if not stunning.

If we're gonna step into areas of wild speculation, then I want the writer/speaker to go as far as they can, instead of charting out curiosities as cracks in the sciences. Thus I simply prefer McKenna as wild speculator, as he at least leaves a trail for 1p to convince themselves of the trajectory of his speculation. So 1p can do some things to verify to a certain extent the wild propositions, and perhaps one day to lay things out more formally. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MgQfC4WRg-g With Sheldrake, you're sort of just left with the speculation, and there's no harness whatsoever, which is why I fall asleep so quickly.
