  • I’m actually reminded of the time James Randi refused to debunk some tech bro’s astrology app, despite him being gung ho about how well it worked… With the reason Randi gave being that because it was an app and claimed to have math behind it, it was too close to the realm of science to count as anything supernatural… Even though there’s virtually no difference between this and a horoscope in the paper, but he was fooled by there being a phone involved. So the guy DID NOT get debunked or even tested despite being full of shit he was, he didn’t get tested or in the running for the million, but he got Randi’s seal of approval… That’s a task failed successfully moment right there.

    God JREF’s reputation is so overblown.

    Remember: You are not immune to propaganda, you will accept anything if it’s presented in a way that seems plausible yet magical enough to you.

    There was a recent case of a young billionaire who basically signed over everything to a family member to live on the street to prove he could “Make millions from nothing!” and that the poors “Were just being lazy”

    It didn’t end well for him and he begged mommy to give him his wealth back because going too long without his gold-plated jaquzzi was hard
