Thank you for the welcome
I've always tried to keep an open mind without being too much of an airhead.
Skepticism is a great tool that gives some detachment. A responsible skeptic will include their own world view as a subject of skepticism.
Dogmatic skepticism, has been a very profitable venture for James Randi and some of his followers. Like all snake oil salesmen, he provides a panacea cure, a good show and an outrageous guarantee and like all good prognosticators, he does it all in plain sight and under the scrupulous observation of skeptics. Scientific inquiry into anything beyond a reductionist, Cartesian, world view is an indirect threat to Mr. Randi's performance. It would be a truly beautiful irony if one of Mr. Randi's scholarship recipients were to go on to discover that macroscopic non-locality was a fundamental principle of life.
