One of the few sources out there advocating Critical Thinking. Love the Podcast and the books. Stay Skeptical!

James Randi passed away recently, so it seemed appropriate to revisit his classic book which made me a skeptic. Randi was a magician and for many years made his living as a performer, but also specialised in exposing charlatans and frauds- psychics, new age healers, diviner‘s, UFO abductees - all where fair game. But he always approached his investigation on the basis of “show me”, if you have this ability let‘s test in in control conditions.

The history of skepticism is one that has, as Hitch put, been burned out and stamped out. It‘s comforting to have this collection of writing from the past that can give me the feeling of an intellectual interconnectedness to a historical tradition of unbelief. Especially when that history is a poetic literary tradition. #skeptic #atheist #unbelief #agnostic #Hitchens

@Mdargusch passed this one on to me after she read it a few years ago. I absolutely loved it—a fictionalized account of a murder wherein the dead bride supposedly comes to her mother after death and tells her that she was murdered by her new husband?! Yes please! This really happened (the circumstances—not the actual haunting. Unless it really did. 😆 #skeptic) Google Greenbrier Ghost. #soaringscores #didimakethemostoflovingyou

Hollie Yes! I talk about this in class and the students are always like wtf when I tell them they allowed testimony from the murder victims ghost into the courtroom 😂 5y
Reviewsbylola I‘m using this one for #personofcolorMCparanormal. Half of the book is told from the perspective of one of the attorneys that defended the ghost‘s husband, and the attorney was a POC. @cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage 5y

“At the heart of science is an essential balance between two seemingly contradictory attitudes--an openness to new ideas, no matter how bizarre or counterintuitive they may be, and the most ruthless skeptical scrutiny of all ideas, old and new. This is how deep truths are winnowed from deep nonsense.” #Skeptic #QuotsyOct18
