Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions
RE: Skeptics might be jumping to conclusions
(April 11, 2018 at 12:41 pm)Khemikal Wrote: I think it's funny that you imagine this is some sort of us vs them bullshit.  A person can believe in all sorts of loony psi shit and still realize that radin is a charlatan.  

You could too..ya..just....don't....wanna.

The effect of this, and this isn't just your own little tic..is that people saddle their silly beliefs with charlatans and a defense of charlatans for absolutely no reason whatsoever..discrediting a field they clearly wish was taken more seriously.  Ask yourself this, would it alter your belief in silly shit a single iota if it was shown to you, clearly, that radin is a charlatan?

No?  Then it's fucking irrelevant.  You're smearing your own fantasies in the mud for nothing.  Is that how you treat things you wish were true?

But I can't trust the arguments skeptics make in an attempt to prove Dean as being a charlatan.  You are free to set these arguments forth. But I don't think I can be convinced of them right then and there on the spot.  Another important question I have here is, do I have to dedicate my life into studying up on things in order to determine whether the paranormal is bull or not?  Or can I find this out for myself right here and now in a relatively short time?  If it's the former, then I have no interest in doing this research.  But if it's the latter, then I will go ahead with this.

If you did an iota of research, you would know.

But you clearly don't want to know enough to find out.

You also clearly don't want to inform yourself enough to actually have an *informed discussion*.

Yet you want to claim others *may* have made up their minds too hastily. With, I might add, no evidence or research to back up even that claim.

And *that* makes you a troll.

I will go ahead and ask this same question I asked Khemikal.  Do I have to dedicate my life into studying up on things in order to determine whether the paranormal is bull or not?  Or can I find this out for myself right here and now in a relatively short time?  If it's the former, then I have no interest in doing this research.  But if it's the latter, then I will go ahead with this.
