In this episode I will be playing two banned TED talks. The first one is called The War on Consciousness and was given by author Graham Hancock (most famous for his books Fingerprints of the Gods and Supernatural). The second talk is by biochemist and author Rupert Sheldrake and is called The Science Delusion. For more TED talks go to www.ted.com.
