But there's a whole 'nother side to him and his work. Some of his insights he got while doing the grunt work for Abdus Salaam's Nobel. That Sarfatti worked for Salaam doesn't invalidate his Nobel. Brian Josephson remains in constant contact with him, despite sarfatti's sentient computer. That doesn't invalidate the Josephson Junction. and for what it's worth, Sarfatti is a center of the physics consciousness world.
Full disclosure. I can't argue physics, because i'm not, nor ever will be one in this lifetime. Sarfatti is a close friend of mine for nearly 30 years. I stayed at his house in November, so i'm prejudiced. I have seen him at his most brilliant, and i have seen him at his most manic. But as Jack himself often says, it doesn't matter if he's crazy, it matters if the equations check out.
And i do have personal knowledge of how much equation checking is being done at high levels around the world. Skennah Kowa
The real point was not about Sarfatti, but about the physical roots of consciousness, and the possible effect of the now common "paradigm shift" in human thinking. And how that shift would affect every aspect of civilization. Skennah Kowa
Preconceived ideas are always the hardest to give up.
People in general do not change views easily, as there's always some extra attachment. "No, we have to take Little Round Top, said Lt. General Pickett." or perhaps, "No, Pope, the sun does not move around the earth." Skennah Kowa
