  Btw, please don’t use Anti-Asian phrases created by a literal Pedophile in your debunks (Woo Woo)

  Wut? I’m pretty sure this has been a derogatory term for pseudoscience since at least the early 90s. I dunno what you think the origins of the word are, but the only relation to Asian people or culture I can find are in the form of it being used to mock charlatans peddling vaguely Asian-sounding spiritual beliefs.

    It was made up by James Randi, a crazy man who claimed he debunked meditation and climate change… Sure he’s also the reason no one takes Uri Geller seriously, but…

    James claimed it was based on music in sci-fi films, but the suspicious similarity to the asian phrase “Wu”, and his own contempt for Eastern Religious Practices are noteworthy.

      He had one kerfluffle in '09 about climate change, but quickly corrected it. I can’t find the actual post, but  are .

      Nobody should be taking Uri Geller seriously, so that’s good.

      The “Randi is a pedo” is from a very obviously take smear campaign that is about as real as any of the fraudsters randi debunked.

      As for mediation, a massive number of the claims about it ARE fake. Randi has some very clear YouTube videos about his opinion on meditation.

      It really sounds like you have a personal grudge against the guy. So now I’m wondering which of your beloved ideas he debunked, or if you simply didn’t spend the 40 minutes requires to research these claims.

        My argument is that him debunking Geller is a good thing, but it’s like the one good thing he did.

        He’s definitely a pedo, did you completely ignore the Phone Sex Recordings?
