Subject: [FairfieldLife] The madness of Chopra...
I’ve never done anything to Deepak Chopra. At least, not in this lifetime.
Perhaps I’ve mocked his surrealistically bizarre anti-science pronouncements
among my friends a few times, or a few thousand times. How could I not when he
tweeted that his personal meditation caused an earthquake or claimed that the
moon doesn’t exist unless someone sees it? Chopra is so on the fringe, it’s
actually fun to read him usually—picture me with tears in my eyes, emitting
cackles like Mozart’s braying laugh in Amadeus. But when he goes after
evolution, it starts to feel personal—and less amusing. Chopra believes there
is some “consciousness” that flows through the universe—an energy field created
by all living things, surrounding us and penetrating us, binding the galaxy
together…no, wait, that’s the Force I’m thinking of. Chopra’s notion of
consciousness has more in common with that of the charlatan book The Secret,
which says if you just think really hard you can change reality. (A lot of
children engage in this magical thinking, but as they mature they outgrow
it—apparently with some exceptions.)So perhaps this universal consciousness
helped Chopra sense my negative energy. At a recent conference in New Delhi he
reportedly said:
Charles Darwin was wrong. Consciousness is key to evolution and we will soon
prove that.
Why does he have to hurt my brain like this—what have I ever done to him?
Darwin “wrong”? Consciousness directing evolution? Evolution being affected by
the thinking of beings that haven’t yet evolved, in some sort of
tachyon-induced time warp? His words quantum-entangle my mind in a synergistic
charlie foxtrot of howling madness. There's more:Why Does Deepak Chopra Hate
