Uri Geller is a 7th Level Wizard of Psi. Can't get enough of the guy! The avatar of Xenu told me not to trust him though. I'll consult the I-Ching to see who I should believe, it's all up for grabs right now since Bigfoot is silent on the matter.

If you want to be a skeptic you should disbelieve before evidence to the contrary is up, good evidence, which there is not for the BS in this thread.
Society does not consist of individuals but expresses the sum of interrelations, the relations within which these individuals stand. ~ Karl Marx

"This is my test of character. There you have the despotic instinct of men. They do not like the cat because the cat is free, and will never consent to become a slave. He will do nothing to your order, as the other animals do." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
"The intellectual and emotional refusal 'to go along' appears neurotic and impotent." — Herbert Marcuse.

I did disbelieve. I was heavily into that JREF/Scicop dogma until I started to actually look into it. edit: I'm still skeptical, more skeptical than with "regular" science, but at some point it doesn't do to just gainsay something and jump up and down saying it's impossible using ridiculous arguments that are obviously prejudicial. If the research is correct, then the effect exists. That doesn't mean I accept anything except what the particular research shows, as less generous members of the forum are implying. People are ready to accept dark matter, big crunches, multiple dimensions, etc, but not a small effect that there's actually decent evidence for. We have computers and guided missles so it's suddenly the End of Science? No way...

lol yeah you're right but most people who rave about homeopathy don't rave about sugar pills.
I don't personally think homeopathy is real. But the reasoning here is wrong, as it is in Choms*ky's post above. Just because an effect doesn't work by the means put forth to explain it, doesn't mean that it can't work by other means. You can have 11 theories of gravity, and none of them can be correct, but gravity will still be real.

Then why isn't remote viewing being used by military intelligence? The ability to peek into enemy territory would be genuinely useful.

No. The evidence is bullshit and I don't understand why you don't see that.

I just haven't run across any convincing claims as to why it's bullshit, and I've seen it all by now. Or most of it. IMO, it's either a complicated hoax/scam or its real. I could be mistaken, it could be a hoax. I can't deny that possibility either.
