I am conflicted between giving Chopra credit for taking it like a
man and thinking that he must really be out of touch to believe he
could have stood up to this challenge. It reveals great naivete on
his part or great hubris. It either makes me think that he believes
his own rap so much he thought he was up to it or that he really is
a bit of a dope!
I can't decide.
I got that he's still an extremely intelligent man, but he had so
consistently acquired and accepted various quantum new age beliefs
without actual critical examination and objective analysis that the
end result is he has merely collected a mishmash of cute sayings,
devoid of any actual depth--or any basis in reality. This is an issue
a lot of people involved in TMO-type quantum orgs, if they chose to
separate from those belief systems, will have to deal with. I can
remember reaching a point in listening to Hagelin, where it was clear
to me he was BS' ing it. At that point it's little different from
listening to any other fundamentalist, just a different flavor.
