Sheldrake makes an appearance on the conservative National Review blog in the article, End of Consciousness by John Derbyshire. Derbyshine says of Sheldrake’s presentation, “Dr. Sheldrake came to us with a limp, and delivered his address from a chair, having been stabbed in the thigh by a lunatic at a different consciousness conference earlier in the week. The incident didn’t seem to have affected his good humor, and he gave us a witty presentation on the dog business, “telephone telepathy,” and the awareness some of us seem to have that we are being stared at from behind, even though we can’t see the starer.”
