What moral? I doubt he understands the concept of moral.
- JacobAldridge 17y agoBut he could have used it as an excuse so as not to be disproved. It's always been my one question about charlatans who know they're fake but would take the Randi Challenge (especially when it was televised - see YouTube). If you know you're crap, why do it? Maybe they start believing their own bs after a while?

- khafra 17y agoThere's a long-held cultural convention that lying isn't morally wrong as long as you successfully lie to yourself first. It may be pitiful, dangerous, or whatever else; but at least it's not evil. This seems to apply to all but a few isolated subcultures.
- huherto 17y agoI think some of them truly believe it. I have a cousin that believes she can talk with virgin Mary. She is educated and I don't think she is trying to trick anybody since she has always been a nice person. I think she is just convinced.
- swombat 17y agoWhy wouldn't he understand the concept of morals? I'm not suggesting he isn't a charlatan, but I don't see what bearing that has to do on understanding the concept of morals.
