Why does this have any votes? The talk clearly isn't banned or unavailable - that's a ridiculous and hyperbolic claim. It's a TEDx talk, which are independent events where speakers are not in fact vetted by TED. Meanwhile TED can and does have a say on the content hosted under its own banner.

They made the decision not to do so with this talk because the Sheldrake's talk is premised on a number of false assumptions about the way science operates, and for the factual errors relied upon in the talk.

They did so openly and transparently, inviting public contributions to the discussion before making their decision -http://www.ted.com/conversations/16894/rupert_sheldrake_s_te...

Thanks for the post! I didn't know such conversation existed. Diving into it to learn some more stuff.

This post is relevant because Sheldrake's talk on Ted was banned from Ted. You can still find it on Youtube though. Many people find it absurd, as do I.
