You know, Sheldrake has a very strange view of consciousness.

Who's Sheldrake?

Rupert Sheldrake.

I don't know.

He's got this concept.

I think it's called morphic resonance.

And see if you can find that so we can define it so I don't butcher it.

But there's people that believe that consciousness itself is something that everything has and that we are just tuning into it.

Morphic Res, a theory proposed by Rupert Sheldon, suggests that all natural systems, from crystals to human, inherit a collective memory of the past instances of similar systems.

This memory influences their form and behavior, making nature more habitual than governed by fixed laws.

Essentially, past patterns and behaviors of organisms influence present ones through connections across time and space.

What is his exact background?

Harvard.

Yeah.

Okay.

So he's a parapsychology researcher, proposed concept of morphic resonance, conjecture that lacks mainstream acceptance, has been widely criticized as pseudoscience.

Of course.

Anything interesting.

Yeah.

That's the theory.
