Sorry. I've seen him do a lot of good by disproving people who were trying to deceive others.
Would you say the same of Shermer? West? Zawi Hawas? Tyson? Bill Nye? All the “scientists” who seem to accomplish nothing of their own besides attacking real scientists like Sheldrake, Robert Schoch, etc
Also all you saw were fucking scripted performances made for tv, to convince naive people that nothing beyond cold hard materialism exists.
They are just strawmen to THE argument at hand. I'm not familiar with any of them in depth.
I've seen James Randi shed light on incredibly deceptive and harmful people, such as Peter Popoff. I dont have to agree with James Randi's atheism or homosexual lifestyle to know that he has proven a lot of people to be frauds.
What exactly is the argument at hand? You brought up randi as if he were some shining beacon of scientific integrity, I disputed that. How the fuck was randi relavent to the video at hand? Did he ever meet with Chang? Did he interview any of the scientists featured in the video who closely studied Chang in an attempt to find a fraud?
It seems you’re the one bringing up irrelevant things unrelated to the “argument” at hand.
The argument at hand is that this guy is probably a fraud and you just needed a "Randi " to prove it by imitating.
But I suspect you'd never believe your own eyes and ears anyway.
A lot of the video of James Randi challenging psychics is obviously unscripted.
