I’m not sure you understand science or logic very well Mr Blogger. I don’t think you understand philosophy very well if you’re going to reference Pascal’s Wager in trying to justify psuedoscience, ignoring that Pascal was discussing the possibility of God’s existence and life after death (thus ‘playing it safe’ actually making a modicum of sense, which it doesn’t in your context).

People have been debunking these ‘psychics’ and ‘chi artists’, or should we say ‘conmen’ and ‘wannabes’, for centuries now. Houdini revealed several psychics to be frauds as one example. Just remember you are defending an industry that steals huge volumes of money from the desperate, lonely and vulnerable, from the wolves of scientific and thought (one of many particularly vocal advocates of which is James Randi).

Maybe it’s time to cleanse the herd. Do we really need more fakers, liars and conmen, Mr Blogger? Or do you think selling people outright lies and psuedoscience for rediculous fees is an acceptable behaviour?

TO QUIT HER JOB AND STOPPED RANDI’S MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL CHALLENGE:

this Randi is…..a REAL CRITICAL THINKER….

Visit:

to see how we stopped the MILLION DOLLAR PARANORMAL challenge…..
watch carefully the consequences of Randi’s *idea*…..

For over 40 years James Randi Zwigert (is this even a REAL NAME?) has
had total control over who and how the testing was conducted,
yet despite all this he has terminated the challenge.

The ONLY REASON why the challenge was stopped is because he lost
and refused to pay.

Apparently, Randi likes to break the rules when it serves him:

“14. This prize will continue to be offered until it is awarded.
Upon the death of James Randi, the administration of the prize will
pass into other hands, and it is intended that it continue in force. ”

Great force…..it’s over……

where is my MILLION DOLLARS

PS: Almost Forgot: Love the IRONY of the *BULLSHIT* sign over
Randi’s head….

and to wrap up….

Nice post. My impression about the Randi challenge has always been that it’s more about publicity than anything else.

Bob, thank you for your comments. I’ve addressed your valid objection by changing “a negative” to “the negative”. Moving on…

if the Randi Challenge was dedicated to investigating the strongest claims, rather than debunking the loudest ones, then its sample size might be relevant.

As it is, the Challenge is analogous to evaluating Aikido by watching Steven Seagal movies, or measuring Ralph Macchio’s Karate. (Translated for non-martial-artists: a complete waste of time.)

I have once written an article about the challenge on my site and it raised heated discussions with more than 40 comments.
It appears to be a very controversial subject, as skeptics swear by Randi and his challenge and psi-proponent actively attack it.
