Imagine making a living being a skeptic. Literally paid to build walls around the establishment viewpoint and divert all eyes away from anything extending beyond their own limited understanding of the world. It's actually quite sad, and dare I say pitiful. Keep at it Sheldrake. I've seen enough of your work to know you are certainly looking in all the right places.

Shermer has become more adept at presenting the skeptical viewpoint as open-minded and reasonable and Rupert was too polite to mention the decades of hateful and obstructive vitriol he's had to put up with from zealous skeptics - none of it reasonable, humouress or even particularly rational, let alone friendly.
Sadly it all boils down to money, power and invested interests. The problem has never been about two reasonable people having a reasoned debate: it's about scientific enquiry being twisted, corrupted and warped into a self-serving dogma that's little better than the religious dogmatism it has thankfully supplanted, at least on the surface.
Indeed, if one believed in reincarnation one might even think that all the rabidly fanatical inquisitors of the middle ages had been reborn into the bodies of modern-day skeptics. Though the poor souls must be very frustrated deep down that they're no longer allowed to torture, imprison and burn at the stake, though they do their best, at least figuratively speaking.

Shermer seems to not understand science and towards the end when he starts to pull in random unequivocal comparisons and illogical counter positions he is just doing his job which is to weave a mist. I’m working hard at keeping my comment nice but I can manage it by saying, we’ll done Rupert…always the thinker and true scientist 👍💪
