A multi-panel meme critical of mainstream scientific skepticism regarding parapsychology, featuring Wojak and Pepe the Frog characters. It covers ESP research, reincarnation, critiques of James Randi, a list of '10 Dogmas of Science,' and mentions Rupert Sheldrake's banned TED Talk.

A long, multi-panel internet meme with numerous text sections, charts, and illustrations of Wojak and Pepe the Frog characters. It presents arguments and historical points related to parapsychology, skepticism, and scientific paradigms, discussing figures like Carl Sagan, James Randi, and Rupert Sheldrake.

Lie down the quack scientists and crackpot theories! Read someone like Carl Sagan! "There are three claims in the ESP field which, in my opinion, deserve serious study: (1) that by thought alone humans can (barely) affect random number generators in computers; (2) that people under mild sensory deprivation can receive thoughts or images 'projected' at them; (3) that young children sometimes report the details of a previous life, which upon checking turn out to be accurate and which they could not have known in any other way than reincarnation." - Carl Sagan PRINCETON UNIVERSITY Attempt to increase Thousands of trials Attempt to decrease THE CONSCIOUS UNIVERSE An Unorthodox Guide to Non-Material Science Cumulative deviations of RNG/RNG (Random Event Generator/Random Number Generator) mean shifts achieved by conscious intention of one operator over some 375,000 experimental trials.

It doesn't exist anymore.) James Randi was exposed by The Association for Skeptical Investigation. They documented in detail his fraudulent activities in "Skeptical About Skeptics". In summary: The money didn't exist as advertised. The challenge didn't follow scientific standards; and didn't qualify as under laboratory conditions. The contract said that you had to relinquish your right to dispute their claims; that all your personal information was now in their hands; and that they could arbitrarily change the protocol at any time. The screening process made sure no real challenger got far. The JREF was part, police, and judge, took personal data, published it, and derided candidates before they were even tested; fabricated emails; delegated crucial tasks to forum users; deliberately hid parts of the process; didn't accept independent judges; never provided evidence of transparency or neutrality; and massively inflated their numbers confounding the handful of people they tested with the thousands of people that didn't get a chance. James Randi didn't have scientific credentials; misunderstood statistics; refused challenged by parapsychologists; refused to test promising candidates; abruptly stopped replying to other promising candidates; rationalized away any adverse results; arbitrarily broke agreements; was extremely hostile before and during tests; stalled; delayed; obfuscated; fabricated; lied; smeared; misrepresented; misquoted; and even perpetrated hoaxes. James Randi has shown to be dishonest; a liar; a propagandist; a fundamentalist; and he even harassed Nobel Prize winners for Physics on occasion. What about the Randi Paranormal Prize? Huh?! Checkmate!!! Biochemistry Ph.D. from Cambridge?! We would love to have you! We are the most open-minded forum in the world! Welcome to "10 Dogmas of Science" Scientism: the dogmatic belief in the current scientific paradigm. (Didn't "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" show that paradigms change radically?) 1) The universe is a machine. (Literally!) 2) Everything is unconscious. (Yes, even you!) 3) The Laws of Nature™ are fixed. (Except when we measure them!) 9) ESP is an illusion. (Standards for evidence can be ignored if we don't like the results!) 10) The Placebo Effect™ is a valid explanation. (It isn't mysterious on itself or anything!) Bonus) Dark Matter™ is 25% of the universe! Dark Energy™ is 70%! (Nothing weird here!) TED WTF? NO! This isn't okay This isn't happening! Dr. Rupert Sheldrake, We are afraid your lecture at "TED Talks: Challenging Current Paradigms" has been banned for challenging the current scientific paradigm. All pertinent videos have been removed from our website. You have no further recourse. Unkindest regards, TED Talks. Part II: The ESP Research Fraudulent studies?
