Skeptic James Randi Remains
Doggedly Opposed
to Any Claims of the Paranormal
In-depth interview with Skeptic, James Randi, examines his conviction that all claims of telepathy, survival of consciousness and psi are unfounded. Del Mar, CA, September 18, 2007 – Join host Alex Tsakiris when he interviews noted Skeptic James Randi. During the 40-minute interview
Randi repeats his assertion that all claims of paranormal phenomena that don’t pass his million dollar test are suspect: “…why isn’t someone like Sheldrake coming after it? He stays away from it because, in my estimation, he knows full well that this business of being stared at, and/or the dog that know when its owner’s coming home will not pass any test. Now if it will pass the test I’ll give him the million dollars. I’ll give it to him in the middle of Piccadilly Circus naked.”
Mr. Randi also explains how his background as a magician gives him a unique perspective on how scientists can be deceived, or deceive themselves.
