We started a thread here for skeptical input on Alex's book project, but it appears to have been a casualty of one or other of the Great Forum Apocalypses.
I'm keen to start the thread again as I suspect the book will feature to some extent in upcoming podcasts. To restart the dialogue I am quoting his response to Alan Amsberg's thoughtful suggestions for the book (in the S&EC forum):
{My bolded} I'm not at all convinced that this is the right tone for such a book, but I'm interested in others' thoughts before I comment further.

Hi Alan... thx for starting this thread.
re above... maybe, but that's kinda presupposes a lot. It kinda anthropomorphizing this larger consciousness in a way that's bound to be wrong.
besides, the book is going more in the direction of "why science is wrong" rather than trying to figure out what the "right" answers are :)
