The Sheldrake Vernon Dialogues

I feel guilty for having for years drawn so much intellectual and spiritual insight from you two gentlemen that I want to somehow give back to you! So, please add a $ button to your website that will allow people like me to express ourselves monetarily in response to you guys having expressed yourselves intellectually. Cheers 🍻

Two of the brightest, most intellectually honest and openly-minded people of our day discussing the best and most interesting topics... just amazing. I would prefer much longer conversations. I am always bummed by the 30-minute limitation. It’s hardly enough for an adequate introduction to the topics. Long-form podcasts are the most popular right now for a good reason. We want more. More of the good stuff, more science, more research, more stories, more laughs, more unscripted goodness, more depth! Love it!

I only wish this podcast were lengthier and more often. Mark works well off of Rupert and both are endlessly fascinating to listen too! I immensely enjoy their deconstruction of scientific dogmas that are so rarely brought up. I really appreciate their realistic skepticism instead of the annoying and groundless “Shermer” brand of skeptical inquiry that is so common. I hope this podcast keeps on keeping on!!!

I get a mild thrill whenever I see that a new Science Set Free episode has come through. It's a type of thrill that is rare among the many podcasts and other sources of information I consume (the only other example that comes to mind is when I see a new post has come through on Jules Evans's website). If you are a curious person who seeks intellectual stimulation in all manner of far flung places, I strongly encourage you to give this podcast a try. It's hard to explain exactly what I find so compelling about it. Basically, there is a type of quiet lightning that happens when Rupert and Mark's minds come together, when assumptions (often unconscious) are revealed and challenged, when new visions are proferred, when science/intellect engages with intuition/poetry in a kind of dance. If I kept talking I'd be apt to drown it in superlatives. Just pick an episode, find a quiet place, and press play.
