	<description>I am an astronomer, writer, and skeptic. I likes reality the way it is, and I aims to keep it that way. My real name is Phil Plait, and I run the Bad Astronomy blog.</description>

		<description>Telepathy ,  telepathy is possible???

I am medicine student , today I received email from one person that &quot;can use telepathy&quot;. 
Is it possible that telepathy works on the distance of few kilometer, correct and all the time?
I can not find any official document on any existing person today that can use telepathy
but I found Vinko Rajic and Uri Geller and they are talking that they can use telepathy.
Why they do not make research on it? Many Schizophrenic are coming with similar story.
Can it be that some  Schizophrenics are just receiving from some other head?
James Randi offer 1000000$ for evidence, but Vinko and Uri can use telepathy or maybe NOT?

There is not scientific evidence for telepathy. Why this telepathy madness?
At Edinburgh University, experts conducted controlled experiments to see if telepathy is possible.
Vinko maybe can give evidence for it but why they do not make an experiment with Vinko or Uri Geller?

Why are Schneider&#039;s symptoms of the first rank for Schizophrenia exact  the same as Vinko&#039;s telepathy?
Is CIA&#039;s remove viewing project just a bluff because telepath&#039;s like Vinko can never find out who actually
is sending to them , also receiver or sender can never localize each other.


I think it is in interests of science and human kind to make some really research on Vinko and Uri.
New &quot;Mad Monk&quot; like Grigori Rasputin can happen again, some pararanormal people are very dangerous.</description>

		<description>Phil Plait, president of the JREF. Soon you&#039;ll be running for president of the United States and then onward to conquer the world!

But, what I came here to say is that it is very possible to be the president of an organization without having to be where it is headquartered. Though their terms only last a year, the International President of Kiwanis International (as well as Circle K and Key Club) is an example of someone who serves as the leader of a worldwide organization without having to live in Indianapolis (Kiwanis headquarters) to serve their term.

And maybe because you live in Boulder, the scattered collection of skeptics and other interested people can have an easier time persuading you to have a visit in Wyoming &gt;_&gt;</description>

I still think Bauer&#039;s understanding of science was a lot better in, e.g., Scientific Literacy and the Myth of the Scientific Method than Penn (w/wout Teller) ever demonstrated.</description>

		<description>Congratulations, Phil:

I have to say, it&#039;s nice to see a scientist in there vs. a magician. (A) As the execrable Penn Jillette* showed,  magicians don&#039;t really necessarily understand science AT ALL. I was also never, ever impressed with Randi&#039;s understanding of the pillars of the scientific method.

That being said, the critique from the debunker/skeptical magician, etc. community of scientists, especially people like Targ and Putoff, e.g.,  is that they misapplied the standards of science when dealing with intentional fraud**. What makes you suitable indeed is you have dealt with the people with the spoons hidden in their sleeve and the confederate with the ectoplasm hiding behind the fake wall in scientific claims.

		<description>I just got back from many days away without Internet access and this was some of the best news to discover! 

Yes, Phil, you are right, there can be only one Amazing Randi. That said, many, many years down the road, when you finally decide to pass the baton on yourself, I can predict (without aid of any psychic powers - just common sense) that they will be saying that there can only be one PHENOMENAL Phil!

And, it may be tough, but let us hope that that successor is as phenomenally worthy of the position as you yourself are!

Congratulations!</description>
