TheLemonOfIchabod posted:james randi shifted his goalposts regarding what counts as "supernatural" or "verifiable through experiment" numerous times. there have been some pretty compelling studies done on things like telepathy and psychokinesis but since they weren't flat out "people moving chairs with their minds" he refused to give away the money. his shtick was a bit of a gimmick imo. i don't know what these compelling studies on telepathy and psychokinesis would be, but iirc, to get randi's money, you just had to demonstrate your thing in a controlled environment with conditions that both you and randi agreed to in advance any genuine telepath could have taken him to the cleaners
