If you've read my post entitled From Siddhartha To Deepak Chopra then will know my opinion of Mr. Chopra. He's reviewed Richard Dawkins' (some professor sort of chap, I hear) latest book, The Magic Of Reality, and apparently dissed it in his usual style. I haven't read either the book, or Deepak's review, but I have read PZ Myers' post about Deepak's review, on his Pharyngula blog. PZ characterizes the review thus:
Shorter Deepak: “Richard Dawkins didn’t endorse my quantum bullshit, therefore The Magic of Reality sucks!”
He goes on to take it apart in his own inimitable style, but this classic bit of PZishness caused me to (dare I say it?) laugh out loud:
I could go on and on about the stupidity of Deepak’s review — every paragraph is like the evacuations of an elephant with diarrhea — massively feculent and slimy, of a quality that will not even appeal to the neighborhood dung beetles.
Go read it, for the full PZ experience.
