Today in how our short-term gratification has fucked over the earth for future generations...
But it makes for such a convenient boogeyman and rhetorical device!
Precisely (meaning, no they were not). Was being a bit tongue-in-cheek with the use of the scare quotes.
Posted a link to a book elsewhere on here that details some of those fascinating cases (Extraordinary Knowing: Science, Skepticism, and the Inexplicable Powers of the Human Mind). Russell Targ, one of the lead researches in those experiments, came out with a book himself - The Reality of ESP: A Physicist's Proof of…
Whether it catches on or not, a professor of sociology named Marcello Truzzi coined the term "zeteticism" to distinguish scientific skepticism in the belief that the term "skepticism" had been usurped by dogmatic skeptics:
Well, it's widely attributed to Sagan and he may well have been responsible for popularizing it, so it's more than understandable. I just find the context behind the quote - including the man and his eventual disillusionment with those in the modern Skeptic movement/organization he helped found - makes it that much…
But a lot of those curmudgeony contrarian assholes lay claim to skepticism and establish organizations, magazines, and websites in its name.
By levitated I simply meant 'rose up from the table,' regardless of the means.

The quote is originally from Marcello Truzzi, who had a falling out with his fellow "skeptics" because they became too dogmatic.
The point wasn't that he "cheated" or used electromagnetism, the point was that some people were so "skeptical" that they denied the bowl levitated altogether.
Yep! Just give me some anatomical metrics and a misguided Samurai/sword metaphor that makes a profound category error, and I'll believe the fuck out of anyone!
Wow, thanks for the response! Maybe young Rick and Morty can go on a trip where they run into Future Morty. Or maybe older Morty can jump back in time John Connor-style to help present day R&M stop the sentient awakening of Google.
