#379 - Rupert Sheldrake - Does Nature Have A Hidden Memory?

Oct 2, 2021

Biologist Rupert Sheldrake dives deep into his intriguing hypothesis of morphic resonance, suggesting that learned behaviors and collective memories can transcend generations. He shares fascinating examples, like rats learning escape routes faster and dogs anticipating their owners' arrivals. The conversation also explores the curious case of blue tits accessing milk, animal telepathy, and the hidden memory within nature. Sheldrake challenges conventional scientific thought, opening up discussions on ancestral trauma and the complexities of shared consciousness in the animal kingdom.
