Talk:Deepak Chopra/Archive1

Woe
This article is woefully insufficient for one of the richest living piles of bull to walk the earth.-- cm 2 02:51, 27 November 2010 (UTC)

Dosha -> flatbread
Are you sure this isn't referring to "Dosa", which is an Indian pancake? Crundy Talk nerdy to me 08:33, 13 July 2011 (UTC)

Deepak Chopra, chemist
For realz. :D--ZooGuard (talk) 18:50, 15 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm going to find a way to legitimately cite this. Scarlet A.pngbomination silverbrain.png 00:56, 18 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It would have been better if he were a quantum physicist. Nebuchadnezzar (talk) 01:48, 18 September 2012 (UTC)

For someone who touts ego death,
he seems to have an awfully advanced ego. How else can he tout such bullshit all the time? EddieMonah (talk) 15:15, 16 February 2013 (UTC)

The quote is not real
The article uses this quote: "We are each a localized field of energy and information with cybernetic feedback loops interacting within a nonlocal field..." - Deepak Chopra.

However, this isn't an actual quote. RationalWiki should strive to use accurate information. I'm sure someone could find a comparably ridiculous quote that he actually said.


 * Yes. This needs to be changed. How about "Birth and death are space-time events in the continuum of life. So the opposite of life is not death. The opposite of death is birth. And the opposite of birth is death. And life is the continuum of birth and death, which goes on and on." Furo ergo sum (talk) 08:02, 10 November 2014 (UTC)


 * People are using this quotation all over as fact when it comes from a rather hilarious piece appearing at The Guardian

http://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/shortcuts/2012/jan/18/oprah-winfrey-deepak-chopra

RationalWiki should not be part of spreading false information even if they are about an unrepentant liar and expounder of gibberish indistinguishable from the satire. Removed.

Name collision
Should we have a hatnote mentioning this guy has nothing to do with the current Canada Post CEO of the same name? Compro01 (talk) 05:12, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Maybe I'm overly optimistic, but I find it difficult to consider a case in which the two would be confused. Mind you, I suppose it doesn't hurt, given that it's a single line (I doubt anyone would throw a fit over it either way). - GrantC (talk) 05:15, 1 January 2014 (UTC)
 * I mention it because I was having a serious case of "Huh? Why the fuck is that idiot running Canada Post?" before I figured out they were different guys.  Compro01 (talk) 00:13, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * Admittedly, I would probably be a bit surprised if I had seen that in a news story somewhere... Mind you, I think Deepak Chopra is more notable than the current CEO of Canada Post, so I don't think a hatnote would be terribly necessary. If this article were about the CEO (or if we had such an article), then I would be inclined to think otherwise. - GrantC (talk) 00:35, 19 January 2014 (UTC)
 * There is also a Deepak Chopra that is the CEO of OSI Systems. I saw that and freaked out momentarily. T G W 00:41, 24 March 2016 (UTC)
