Hi Brits,

I know this is a bit off topic, but I'm curious what British Atarians
think of Rupert Sheldrake and his theory of Formative Causation. Briefly,
his theory predicts that once a problem has been solved that it's easier
for others to solve it. I know that this sounds like bullsh*t, but I've
had a recent experience of anecdotal evidence. 

I installed Nemesis in my Falcon. No way, when I look back on it, should
I have been successful. Maybe I was just lucky, but I saw Rupert on a 
PBS TV program and I was impressed by his explanations of past/present
events. Entropy suggests that all systems go from ordered to chaotic,
yet, human experiences don't (depends on your point of view :))

Anyway, since most Atarians I've met are a chaotic group, I was curious
of what you think of your fellow countryman. Maybe, I've had one too
many Brewski's(Red Hook Ale). His statements about form, pattern, order,
structure, struck a cord of truth. Please post or e-mail me if you think
this guy is onto something or just has a clever imagination. Not much info
on him or his theories here in the USA.
