"Randi, of course, has offered to test Geller and to give him $1 million if he can prove his claims. But Geller has always declined, saying anything that would quiet skeptics — and by extension make him less controversial — would hurt his career. "If someone wants to stay in the business of being a psychic," he says, "they should simply ignore the skeptics.""
That's got to be the most obnoxious bullshit I ever read. Ever.
- flatline 17y agoThis is actually the best quote I've heard from Geller, he speaks very frankly that the publicity has, in the long run, helped more than hurt him. Normally he just pretends to be serious about being a psychic and, true to his statement here, ignores skeptics. It looked like Randi had shut down his career for a while but I understand he's recently had quite a healthy resurgence in popularity. The maddening thing is, the way that the MSM covers these types of things, I really used to believe all of this stuff as a kid. I really thought that Geller had people bending spoons all over the UK when I was like 11. Randi sometimes comes across as harsh and I don't necessarily buy the rosy picture that is painted of him by his fans, but I think his work and that of others like him is incredibly important. I'm sorry to hear of his cancer, he will be missed when he passes.
