I'm talking about science on the leading edge, where it's not clear which way things are going be cause we don't know, and I'm dealing with areas which we don't know about.

The science delusion is the belief that science already understands the nature of reality in principle, leaving only the details to be filled in.

The idea is that there is a kind of memory in nature. Each kind of thing has a collective memory. So, take a squirrel living in New York now. That squirrel is being influenced by all past squirrels.

I went through the standard scientific atheist phase when I was about 14. I bought into that package deal of science equals atheism.

Right now, any opinion anyone has about whether dogs can or cannot really tell when their owner is coming home by some unknown means... nobody knows. The weight of evi dence suggests they can.

I think that the 'laws of nature' are also prone to evolve; I think they are more like habits than laws.

I think that creativity depends on having sufficient indeterminacy around for a new pattern to arise up within it.
