I don’t understand why the Million Dollar Challenge hasn’t been won. I’ve spent some time in the JREF forums and as far as I can see the challenge is genuine and should be easily winnable by anyone with powers you accept. The remote viewing, for instance, that I see on your blog. That’s trivial to turn into a good protocol. Why doesn’t someone just go ahead and prove these things exist? It’d be good for everyone involved. I see you say: “But for the far larger community of psi deniers who have not read the literature of evidence for psi, and get all your information from the Shermers and Randis of the world, I have a simple message: you are uninformed.” So obviously you think that either Randi has bad information or is deliberately sharing bad information. That’s fine. If the Challenge is set up correctly it shouldn’t matter what Randi does or does not believe/know/whatever. I can only conclude there is at least one serious flaw in the Challenge. Could you tell me what it is?
