James Randi is a scam artist. There's plenty of accepted psychics, James Randi is like the (lazy) normalization of skepticism for people who don't want think (critically). Mmm, I get if you want/need to do that.
But just go to reddit/remoteviewing and give it a try. You can see through that bullshit that James Randi is...But I get if you'd rather James Randi decide for you what you should think or not. "Safer", right? hoho :)
- teddyh 4y agoYou found a comment from almost two months ago which you wanted to reply to, but can’t, since the thread has long been closed. So your solution was to track down the person who wrote that comment, find a recent comment they wrote about an unrelated topic, and try to resurrect the now-dead flamewar in an unrelated thread?
- _5gzd 4y agoIt's not about flamewar. It's just personally important to me. Not resurrecting any flamewar, if you saw war there it was only in your attitude...I'm just saying what I wanted to say in response to what you said. I didn't see your comment before then. If you don't like people's responses to what you say online maybe be more considerate of how they might respond before you say something online: I posted a lot of data, and you just invoked some general "impossibility defense"... I feel scared that people won't see my work because of that. So it hurts, like trashing my work without reading it. It's irresponsible to blanket dismiss something, and speak as if you know enough to dismiss, when you don't. There's no need to be mean like that. I think it's better if you're nice and/or substantial.
