The second debate between Deepak Chopra and Michael Shermer on the subject of afterlife. I have read a few books by Chopra and have attended several presentations by Shermer at CalTech in Pasadena. I do have one comment to make regarding a glaring downfall in one of the author’s debates: Can you say ad hominem?
Read the full Shermer vs. Chopra Afterlife Debate and make your own assessments. The first Shermer-Chopra debate is available at the Huffington Post.

In the Virtues and Value of Skepticism I noticed that Chopra refers to Skeptics as using ad hominem attacks, while using an ad hominem attack. That’s a special talent, that is!
