Noticed how you glorify the alpha project on your profile page. This was one of James Randis major deceptions, by doing this he delegitimises ANY further foray into "psi" research, he gets his oppurtunity to say "Still bullshit, just look at project alpha!" His million dollar prize is also fairly called out for the lie that it is. Many people get flat out turned away, and the only real cash you can expect from it is merely ten thousand dollars. All the other money is in bonds.

Is it any coincedence that many people in the media who cling to fundamentalist, evangelical materialism are old white men? Men, who LIKE to feel superior, being able to call 2/3 of the population idiots, putting themselves above it all. It doesn't have to be these mens superiority complex on its own however, it could be their fear of the unknown. James Randi said it himself when he said that knowing how the world works makes him feel safe. Just like how christians cling to god and the bible for safety, and how they discredit anything that comes against it with their religous language game. These fundamentalist materialists in the media are not above that, the scientific process is not immune to corruption, and project alpha even proved that. It wouldn't just be psychical research that have been deceived. Science can be fudged and muddied by governments, corporations, lobbyists, money, and even the own scientists security blanket of "but muh sciences!!!!"

If you want to be taken seriously as a skeptic, then apply that skepticism to everything.
