Let me save you the trouble. This guy is a crackpot who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about. Though if you've ever been persuaded by an article extolling the virtues of homeopathy, you might be of the right mindset to enjoy this article.

This guy is a crackpot who doesn't have a clue what he's talking about.

Serious? I don't know the person - and the article was so and so - but the credentials of the author are stated as:

'Ray Tallis trained as a doctor, ultimately becoming professor of geriatric medicine at the University of Manchester, UK, where he oversaw a major neuroscience project. He is a Fellow of the Academy of Medical Sciences and a writer on areas ranging from consciousness to medical ethics'

This doesn't strike me as a crackpot!

Thanks. New Scientist is giving me that "You've read your 3 free articles today" crap. Now I don't feel I'm missing anything.
