James Randi

I stumbled across The James Randi Educational Foundation while looking for books and websites that debunk spiritualism.

James Randi opines about all kinds of mumbo jumbo, and importantly, has got together a million dollars as a prize for the first person that can demonstrate any kind of supernatural phenomenon in a lab. That the prize is so far unclaimed is a useful snippet to use in discussions with believers in nonsense.

Best of all, there is a weekly commentary with archives going back to 1999, and Randi is an entertaining writer so there’s plenty to keep you busy during those quiet periods at work! Don’t miss some intriguing puzzles [scroll to the bottom] in some of the earlier articles.

Finally, I wish I’d known about Randi’s site when I wrote about magnet therapy back in April. Randi expounds on this very topic in several articles, including one in which shoemakers Florsheim withdraw claims about their magnetic shoes. This last one includes a link to an Onion peice entitled, Revolutionary New Insoles Combine Five Forms of Pseudoscience. Enjoy!

    Mr Randi is a classical skepticist. Following the very unscientific and pseudo-intellectual conduct of thought. Not that different from the ones he is “debunking”.
    He has also been proved to be a clever “editor” and a stater of false claims. Claiming facts and proof of theories highly doubtful for anyone with an inquisitive mind = critical mind.
    The skeptical mind, as more are starting to realize, is simply just as self-catering as the “nonsense” that it has aimed to debunk.
    I invite you to take a look at this website
    http://members.aol.com/ddrasin/zen.html
    and with a clear objective way of reasoning see how much of this fits with you… and with Hames Randi. It is the humorous yet very obvious thought-conducts of the skeptical mind.

    “I shall not commit the fashionable stupidity of
    regarding everything I cannot explain as a fraud.”
