Other, prospective experiments have been performed, with suggestive support for inter-member access to learning within a species. For instance, several visual puzzles were shown to people in the UK. The average time it took for them to solve these puzzles was recorded. The puzzles were then shown on TV to several million viewers. Following the program, another group of people (who had not seen the TV program) was shown the same puzzles, and they were able to solve them much more quickly (Sheldrake 1989). Sheldrake proposes that the collective experience of the viewers was stored in a morphogenetic field and thus became available to those who were subsequently challenged with the same puzzle.

The last day of high school in 1964 I was walking down the hall when from the other end came a guy I had been friends with in middle school. We had been friends but in high school he had become one of the ruling clique , him being a jock and me a musician as in the out crowd.
As we approached each other I almost said to him " how's it going" but as it was the last day of term I also tried to say " hang in there, " that being a recent surfer phrase in vogue. The two together, jumbled in my mouth and came out" how's it hanging" he looked at me oddly , smiled and replied " loose.
Well the next fall back at school this had become the prefered greeting among the in crowd of jocks at our school, and over the next few weeks, spread to the rest of the schools in the Bay Area.
My wife tells me it is much older then this but who knows.

You really think that in the thousands of years that comprise human history and even taking it to a galactic and interdimensional level, your little comebacks and wheelies are somehow unique? I used to think that way when I was a teenager as well, but then grew up.
