Skeptiko: From the desk of James Randi

[JMA]

The Psi-proponent podcast "Skeptiko" talks about James Randi:

I think that the JREF team should respond to that.

That Alex guy has a definite difficulty in reading comprehension.
Fill out the application form or shut up.

"The Dogs That Know" when their owner comes home.

*yawn*

I think that the JREF team should respond to that.

Why?

Unfortunately, the older I get, the less patience I have to suffer the sort of stupidity displayed by those posting to those linked forums. We get enough of it here.

I am not sure what this guys confusion is...Randi was pretty clear - no MDC application, no interest.

 

[JMA]

Why?

Because... Here you go:

That was to be expected from a guy like Alex.

 

[ynot]

He starts with - “ongoing research exploring whether our connection with our dog can form a telepathic link that lets the dog know when the owner is coming home”

Then later - “to better understand this amazing phenomena”

This guy is obviously more interested in confirming the “amazing phenomena” he already believes than “exploring whether”.

ETA - Skeptiko should be Skeptik0 (zero)

In your own words, please.

Yeah, sure, you're right. Let's the psi-believers have it his own way and spread disinformations about the challenge.

Doing nothing is what, the skeptics, do best, right?

Why should we do anything about it. Let's just go back to sleep...

There's a difference between "us, skeptics" and "JREF team".

If you want to respond, you can post comments on the site. So far, there are none there.

My cat predicted Alex would try this weeks ago. Can I have my million? I don't sign anything because that's how the illuminati tracks people but I have an honest face.
