While I think James Randi is one of the better skeptics/debunkers out there and one of the few who doesn't annoy me, I don't see why a documentary about him would be important.

Plus they already hit their funding goal so pffft

Bwa ha ha! They were asking us for money!

We can't even get a banner working. Who would think we have money?!

I mostly know who Randi is for his million dollar challenge thing. Otherwise I know nothing about him, though I'm sure he's lovely. Either way it doesn't make it any less annoying when non-members come on here and post for the sole purpose of asking us for money.

James Randi is actually way cool. He's a major anti-pseudoscience activist.

Blah blah science science internet science.

And here I was thinking this was some sort of drag queen Ayn Rand parody thing.

Oh man. I thought with a name like 'Randi' this would at least be about porn. I am highly disappointed that it's not.

Or is it?

Hi geeks !

As, I suppose, most of you, I am super excited about the ongoing kickstarter for "SCIENCE: Ruining Everything Since 1543" !
Awesome people are awesome !

But actually, there's not only this project that I believe we should back right now.

As we speak, there's another great kickstarter project doing a [b]documentary about one of the greatest skeptical activists[/b] of our time : [b]the Amazing Randi[/b] [url]http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/220588101/an-honest-liar-the-amazing-randi-story[/url] .

Him and his foundation ([url]http://www.randi.org/[/url]) have been intelligently fighting against charlatanism and tried to promote critical thinking all around the world for many years.

I definitively think people need to see this film and that the producers of this project [b]NEED YOUR SUPPORT by backing it[/b].

Thanks for sharing it too. :P

In short : rise you dopamin level by the excitement of participating to something great, add a spoon of oxytocin for a nice feeling of belonging and reward yourself by kicking those stoned neurons with several good beers ! Forget everything. Then repeat the process.
