The most annoying thing about Sheldrake is how he caused so many people to
associate his musing on formative causation and morpic fields with the far
more serious concept of morphogenetic fields that developmental biologists
had explored over the years. Silly stuff put forward by Sheldrake is never
considered for good reason:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/immunology-and-microbiology/morphogen
 
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3413735/
 
More serious work has been done by people like Brian Goodwin, Lewis Wolpert
and numerous others. All Sheldrake has done is sow confusion about the
morphogenetic field concept where most laypeople and many biologists
outside that field think he’s responsible for the concept.

Not only were my direct points about Teilhard left in the wind, Sheldrake
too.

Why even bring them up if you can’t seriously defend them unless it is a
JAQ?
