@kimbo99 I cured with the power that came through me. Of course, it was not I who cured, it was the power from the Outer World, the visions and the ceremonies had only made me like a hole through which the power could come to the two-leggeds." "If I thought that I was doing it myself, the hole would close up and no power could come through. Then everything I could do would be foolish.
---Black Elk - Oglala Sioux----Is this a little more mystifying?-------PS-Respect your Aboriginals.
@kimbo99 I personaly went on a hunger strike for around 14 days, still had plenty of energy and wasnt losing weight at that point, I was only around 14 years old too which at that age burned much more energy than an average older person. this is a pathetic attempt at attention and idiots like you give it to them.
@JoeDaiger Incorrect. This video is a bait to attract pseudoskeptics, to display their disabiiities. Wouldnt you agree, it works? Many fail l the inbuilit reading comprehension test. Just read downwards at the collection of mental deficits. Why I am an idiot for caring about disabled people ? Dont you? So you didnt lose an ounce of weight in 14 days without food. That's hard to believe, please pardon my skepticism.
When the body is deprived of new fuel (i.e., food), it breaks into its energy reserves to keep going. The body stores energy in the form of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
"The JREF will not test claims that are likely to cause injury of any sort, such as those involving the withholding of air, food, or water, or the use of illicit materials, drugs, or dangerous devices."
Some prisoners in the world have gone on hunger strikes over 100 days before being forced to take nutrition.
@kimbo99 I did not answer the question, because it's irrelevant. But I was not, I were raised as a free thinker. But going to the actual point, which is this video, and that a person says that he live without food for a long period of time, is not a "paranormal" activity/object/reaction. A logical person, who has some knowledge of the human body, knows this.
u have to understand james is a logical man he knows the guy xcannot live without food till he dies natural death or at least live on water for year it would be on james randis conscience for allowing such a stupid and obviously stupid claim by a stupid man be proven that he cannot and have kidney liver heart failure or even death .
Thanks for posting. Randi's tests are rigged anyway. Rigged so the challenger will fail. Not only that but Randi refuses to look at the Chi documentation which has been documented if they can put their hands on you they can do things to you and manipulate you. Theyu need to revolk his genius award immediately.
lol, what shit is that? you seems like a desperate clown who wonna get one million dollar. A human can survive without food for months, only need water! remember: 3 months without food, 3 days without water, 3 minutes without air and you charlatan want to be locked in for only a week or two?
The conditions listed would only prove that he survived without food, not that he drew anything from outside energy or force. The fact is a human body is in some cases able to survive without food for more than 50 days. Nothing mystical just biology. In that time the body harvests it's own organs in order to stay alive. In a couple of weeks a starving person experience this only a little bit, after that he would have irreparable organ damage. Worth a shot for 1 Mil but a lose lose for Randi.
kimbo my dear friend, do you believe in the supernatural? (or, in other words: are you a moron?) Or are you just trolling (or, in other words: are you a moron?)
@MuikuliWander Can you clap your hands or are you a moron ? Serious question not rhetoric like yours. Please answer. Can you clap your hands ? Its a simple, YES or NO Can you do it ?
@kimbo99 As a person with his right hand currently broken I am quite disgusted about your question, which seems to imply that everyone who is unable to clap their hands is a moron. Being a hand amputee doesn't make one a moron.
@MuikuliWander You cant even lie straight in bed ! You trip yourself up. Liar Liar pants on fire. Since when is a broken hand an amputation? Answer when its a confabulation LOL. Already you are revealing your character defect Psychopathic Narcissism. Sneering superiority dripping venom from up on high on anyone you can engage in conversation. I have started the sneer counter, to measure your infirmity. Keeping typing
@w32sdfa Err....... that happens to all serious applicants. Its Randis standard procedure. Randi is the 10 magician to offer an unwinnable prize. Adjacnet video You just dont get it, do you. Oh and shall I just change the wiki entry before some 9 yr old does?. Do you trust 9yr olds as keepers of knowledge?
@kimbo99 Go to the JREF page on Wikipedia and scroll down a bit. See those little hyperlinked numbers in superscript next to certain claims and statements? Those are sources. They lead to web pages which reliably support those claims and statements. Whenever anyone refers to Wikipedia for information, they refer to the sources of information cited in the article.
@exeHL But the source is James Randi professional exposed fraudster. Videos adjacent expose his frauds. Perhaps you might get educated also. In front of, millions of viewers, he was seen on Sydney TV attempting to surreptitiously bend a key by physical force. He is not even a decent stage magician.
@brendanmcwilliams Reading and comprehension problems abound in skeptics. A week without food is not injurious. Its often called a diet. In the firts few seconds it says that wtaer is supplied. The test would be to see of the applicant lost body weight, in one week without food. No murder or suicide involved. Skeptics seem to hallucinate a lot.See horrors that arent there.
True on the food, as humans can survive longer without food, but humans cannot survive without water for more than a week. Certainly not a month.
Although I have never had hallucinations as a skeptic, I am sure a lot of my drug taking friends have, so that could be correct. Actually, I have hallucinated (while awake) once when in the marine corps and hiking with a 60 lbs pack for a good 18 hours in Okinawa, Japan. I remember seeing someone standing along the path that others didn't
@brendanmcwilliams And the marines didnt teach you reading. At the beginning of the video its described as a water diet. Water is not withheld. And do you think that nobody else knows the things you have stated.? That we all need to be told this?
@brendanmcwilliams " Living on water alone "is the key phrase in the first few seconds. . Don't you get that ? Preserve us from pseudoskeptics. "Murder and suicide" from drinking water and eating no food for a week. You dont understand what you read but you still wanna argue.. A hallmmark of pseudoskeptics.
@ebrobaru No hate in the video, at all. Its actually a bait to attract pseudoskeptics to parade their many defects. And boy do they perform. Its a study. You heard of those?
Kolodzey is just another fraud. He can sit still for a week and have minimal weight loss because he isn't burning calories, but NO ONE IN THE WORLD could last for any longer than a few months without serious permanent damage to their bodies. Morbidly obese people are the only ones who could do it and survive, and even then they will likely suffer damage to major organs. Randi is human enough to realize that the attempt alone is very unhealthy and he won't allow people to die under his care.
Have you ever read the conditions of the challenge? Well I HAVE, and it clearly states that any challenge that could endanger the life of the participant or anybody else WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED, is just a matter of common sense guys, what if the participant is just nuts? would you let him jump from the top of a 10 story building because he claims he can fly? , either mr kolodzey can't read or is trying to confuse us with non-sense BS.
@sethmx999 NO of course not. Nobody has ever read the challenge but YOU. We are all blind. Its obvious you just dont get it.LOL. Video explaining the joke to coming to you.
@kimbo99 well, if you have read it, I don't see any reason to be surprised. it's an agreement pal, either you fulfill the terms or you walk away with nothing, conditions of the agreement have not changed, so there's no reason to be suspicious. Besides, if this guy is for real, he could prove it with or without randi, so far all we got is words, words, words.
Its not the first time Randi would accept a life threatening condition. This isnt like a headshot, legal basis for the water claim can be set to put Randi out of justice's reach if the guy is mad. And again, life threatening conditions has been accepted before by making exceptions.
@sethmx999 you will NOT die by drinking nothing but water for 1 or 2 weeks. - so that's a straw man.. ofcourse most people would accept that it would be dangerous to do a water only diet for 3 months... but 1 or 2 weeks should be enough to measure body temp, activity, weight loss, nutrient loss in urine etc...and to be able to prove/disprove the claim through extrapolation.
@gelflingy Frightening is your defect that you believe a week without food is like being shot in the head. Have you never heard of a diet ? Numerous pseudoskeptics have this defect.
I'm not sure this youtube video accomplishes anything. Direct, public confrontation (open letter would be my method) with Pseudoskeptics would be far more effective at bringing any follies of theirs to light.
I suggest supplying pseudoskeptics with an open challenge. Do it simultaneously and as publicly as possible. I urge this man to bring his rhetoric (I mean that in a positive sense) to daylight.
If this man/one like him has done so, I request direction to it and the response(s), if any.
@Saavykaas This youtube video functions ably as a bait for pseudoskeptics to display their defects. And they do. Read down. Many Pseudo skeptics cant even read the English in this video, yet pose as Scientists and Prosecutors online, constantly demanding evidence from everybody else. So this video is a reading test, a thinking test, and general knowledge test. Most Pskeps fail.
@Saavykaas Posing as a scientist example NO1 " I actually have thought about it. I'm a researcher and medical professional; I've reviewed the study and have determined it to he of poor methodological quality. you're incorrect in your assertion that no body dies with food or water for a week. that is dependant upon a persons health. even the healthiest scarcely last a week without water" Complete fraud he turns out to be, in next entries. He cant even read. Has read non existent studies
@Bowlesy13 Irony No- I do a lot more than you- actually producing a number of useful public services on youtube and on the NET. There is the faint chance you could wake up. but I'm not too hopeful. Bye
Maybe I am a fool here, and I'm completely willing to be called so... but he won't survive. Anyone can survive only on water for an amount of time. Your body needs water more than it needs food. Your body will start breaking down your glycogen built up in your fat and liver, then ketone bodies in your muscles in order to stay alive. This claim is very dangerous because it would have to be tested over an exorbitant period, and the longer it is tested, the more dangerous it becomes.
@ffgew22 Also, if something paranormal like psychics truly exist or existed, there would've been some selective advantage for them. "Hey, I foresee my death if I go hunting for mammoths today. I think I'll stay home." Therefore shouldn't the world be filled with psychics through the process of evolution?
@ffgew22 No not a long time. Weight loss after a week would occur, just on water. Weight loss would be enough to prove the claim false. So there is no danger whatsoever. 100 million people here on the NET know about the body wasting from lack of food. TBut many pseudoskeptics are unaware it takes 3 months to die from lack of food. And that week in the video without food does no harm whatsoever. Fasting. Many pseudoskeptics reveal their disabilties here. That is the function of this video.
@ indianlake I love the nonsensical term "pseudoskeptic". clearly you don't have a grasp of the English language since one is either a skeptic or not a skeptic. The typical con artist game of bait switch and semantics. You are a liar and an apologist for liars
@MISTERASMODEUS See your beloved wikipedia ! Susan Blackmore, pseudoskeptics pin up girl describing pseudoskeptics. And she is a an OXFORD parapsychologist and She is English. The derivation of the word is also explained in that same wiki entry. Truzzo coined it a long time ago. So your english will receive a boost. Just type the word into Wiki.
This is bullshit. Someone is just offering to harm themselves and Randi would be blamed for it so he ignores it. All the idiot kolodzy is saying is he could go in a hunger strike to try to get a million$. What the idiot who posted this is saying is BULLSHIT
@MISTERASMODEUS No, the video is posted as a bait for pseudoskeptics to display their disabilties. Thanks for displaying yours. Its a simple reading and comprehension exercise which many fail.
lol if Randi is a pseudoskeptic, why did he bother setting up experiments, where the conditions of the experiment are agreed upon by both sides? Furthermore his disbeliefs are justified in that, through investigations, he could replicate the exact paranormal activities using mere trickery.
You (and OP, who is probably your other account) are just throwing the word pseudoskeptic around anyhow. You seem more like a pseudoskeptics than the ones your accuse of being. Hypocrite.
@softzephy See your beloved wikipedia ! Susan Blackmore, pseudoskeptics pin up girl describing pseudoskeptics. And she is a an OXFORD parapsychologist and She is English. The derivation of the word is also explained in that same wiki entry. Truzzo coined it a long time ago. So your english will receive a boost. Just type the word into Wiki. And there is a video explaining it. And I am not OP.
@softzephy I have critique the James Randi's 1 million dollar paranormal challenge and I find it really doubtful. First of all, since it is up to the claimant to pay his/her tests and not the JREF, hence it is very likely those tests contains methodological flaws due to the lack of appropriate numbers of sample-size, which causes the statistical power to be very weak. Second of all, since the statistical power is weak, there is a high probability of commiting a Type II error on the tests.
@softzephy And most importantly, have they ever bothered to do a power-analysis before conducting such tests? Well, since the tests' statistical power is weak, I really doubt it. You have to understand that there are effects out there that cannot be detected by a single experiments, nor by small sample-size. If unbiased, scientific studies shows that ESP is present on rigorously, controlled experiments, but it's effect-size is really small, would a single JREF tests detect it? No.
I actually have thought about it. I'm a researcher and medical professional; I've reviewed the study and have determined it to he of poor methodological quality. you're incorrect in your assertion that no body dies with food or water for a week. that is dependant upon a persons health. even the healthiest scarcely last a week without water
@jayross76 I thought the person was permitted water, that the test was actually about food.The video is only a bait for pseudoskeptics you don't belong here, friend . Your assumption that its my video - Its not. I didn't create it. Its a test of how badly pseudoskeptics read and comprehend. Nobody bothers to actually read the study details, they just blab. So you are really out there !
@jayross76 Refer to the video begin- LIVING ON WATER ALONE ! Nobody dies in a week doing that. The video is really just a test of pseudoskeptic's reading comprehension skills which are woeful. The study protocol was never finalised so anything you have found on line is tentative and unreliable at best. I thought a researcher would know that. The "living on water alone statement" is in the first 15 seconds. Did you miss that?
@jayross76 clarification- I decided, and announced privately on May 19th, 2006, that I would accept the application of one Rico Kolodzey. He has been the noisiest of the no-food claimants, and [Richard] Milton apparently accepts his claim that he lives on water alone, and has done so for decades. Yes, read that again, so you’ll appreciate my dilemma. In the 100 days since, we’ve been fussing over an appropriate and acceptable protocol, and getting nowhere... " James Randi, on August 25,2006
@jayross76- And James Randi himself there also says its a water only diet. So Mr Top Gun researcher what "study" could you have read ? Please supply the link..
It seems to me more likely that someone might have fooled a group of researchers who have not submitted their experimental process and data to peer review, than that well-established and repeatedly tested theories of practical use in science today, are simply wrong.
The claim to have not consumed any water I find slightly more difficult to believe, as he would likely have presented at least some symptoms of dehydration after two weeks.
It's very easy to consume water and urinate in a shower without being detected.
Of course, it's possible that none of the explanations I have given were involved in this scenario, but my point is that there are reasonable explanations.
I don't find it difficult to believe that perhaps he did not eat for the entire two weeks of the test.
If he had been consuming very little food for a while metabolic functions would have stabilized at some point, and the researchers said that they were looking for the changes in metabolism that normally accompany the start of fasting.
The subject needs to be monitored, and it's difficult to monitor someone sufficiently if you are concerned about their privacy.
Add to this the fact that other scientists much less concerned with privacy have been fooled in these kinds of studies and it does not stretch the imagination to think that Jani may have found a way to get around their safeguards.
Unfortunately there isn't very much information available about the experimental procedures involved, and the doctors don't appear to have published their findings in any journal (though I might have missed something, I don't know enough Hindi to reliably search journals in that language).
What I found a bit worrying was that preserving Jani's "privacy" and "dignity" were among the researcher top priorities. Not that those are bad things, but this is supposed to be a scientifc study.
@kimbo99 The articles in the Epoch Times contain the same information that the other articles did. They do not contain the experiment protocol details.
I would not have expected them to either, since the Epoch Times is not a scientific publication.
@jayross76 Think before you type for more than second . Everyone else does. Nobody dies in a week without food. People often do that, crash dieting. You know this I hope.
@kimbo99 Crash dieting is considered drastic and dangerous by most doctors. Just because some stupid people do something doesn't make it scientifically ethical.
@download333 To go a week without food is not a great stress. It takes 3 months to die of starvation. Count the number of times your "advice" has been written on this page by other non reading people.
@kimbo99 Other people mentioned it for the same reason I did: because it's relevant. There might have been relatively safe ways to do this experiment if done carefully (though the personnel cost would likely be quite high), but they were unable to agree on terms of testing. The details of the negotiations were not released as far as I know, but if Rico really thought that James was being unfair in his terms I would think that Rico would have publicly disclosed the details that he deemed unfair.
@download333 There was an indian ascetic who submitted himself to that test under controlled conditions and monitored for weeks by scientists. He never had any food or water. He didn't lost any weight or water from his body. This was taped and featured on some documentary. Scientists were puzzled, but it was proved beyond doubt that this is possible, although challenging for out current paradigm. Randi refused, because if he is a bit informed, he knew there were good chances he would lose.
Everything we know about physics, chemistry and human anatomy tells us that we can't get by for long without food and water. Either verified theories in all these fields of study which have stood up to worldwide scientific scrutiny are all wrong, or someone is tricking you. Which seems more likely?
I've read about the experiment that you mentioned.
@download333 Your endless apologies for Randi can be your undoing.It reflects a naivete in your self which is admirable, you are a trusting soul and don't believe anyone would lie. But let me assure you conmen like Randi do lie and can depend on undying support form pleasant loving naive people like your good self, to make endless apologies for him.
@kimbo99 I won't apologize for anyone I think is wrong or lying. I think Randi is a bit brusque with these people sometimes, but I'll cut him some slack given how long he's been dealing with them. However, all this is missing the point. In this instance we really don't have enough information to say what happened. It could be that they had a genuine disagreement about the test procedure. Maybe James or Rico spent the entire time screaming obscenities.
@kimbo99 We don't know, and speculating without further information will not get us anywhere. Nor will making assumptions about people we don't know who post messages in comment sections.
@kimbo99 with me, but I honestly do not believe that Randi, if he knew there was actual psychics, would continue to live a lie. Hes not that sort of person. He would immidiately jump to the challenge and write the check. Perhaps thats just my personal view on him. But even if he did ignore this request is because he wouldnt wish to participate in a deadly challenge which could have gotten him sued.
@AtheistTabbiChan So yourself knowing that lying is widespread and encountered virtually everywhere as in every advertisement to some degree, every package, simple politeness contains lying often, You know all this and you declare that Randi would not tell a lie like most others do. Yet Randi admits being a liar cheat and a fraud.
@kimbo99 What's so wrong about giving me a simple link to somewhere that -doesnt- just spout out unconfirmed slander about James Randi? Yes Carl Sagan did warn us about pseudo skeptics, what's a problem is that you add it to -anyone- who you dislike or disagree with you.
I dont know how you can call yourself a skeptic if you believe in psychic powers. Atleast I assume you do.
Of course anyone who disagrees with you is a pseudo skeptic. Everyone except yourself.
@AtheistTabbiChan Its so simple. I will not provide you with copious references for every word I type. Grown ups don't do that. Only Pskeps demand that. you are parading your disabilities for all to see here.Have you no shame? You haven't disagreed with me much you just crashed and burned first entry now you want to dig in deeper. I have Supplied a POWERFUL REFERNCE debunkingskepicsDOTcom Learn all about yourself there. Sagan Randi the whole lot. It's a treasure trove.
@kimbo99 Also, yes Adults do require evidence. If you are just going to spam "ADULTS DONT SHOW EVIDENCE IN FORM OF PROPER DOCUMENTATION!!!" because you have no proper documentation, you are wrong.
I am not just some teenage girl you can control to say whatever you want, or keep from saying whatever you want, by just stating that Adults dont do something specific. I have a brain of my own you know. Go do that to your teen daughter. Wont work on me.
@kimbo99 Continuing on, I found that place on the site which is probably where you got your James Randi hatred from. And really it's just mindless slander and undocumented events, highly exaggarated to make Randi seem like a bad person. Randi never claimed to be better than Scientists at debunking the paranormal, yet he does want to try himself. Also, the page claims Randi brainwashes people with lectures, yet does not even attempt to explain -how-. I think -you- are a pseudo skeptic. -.-
@kimbo99 -and- to add ontop of the pie, the article continues to slander Michael Shermer! executive officer of skeptics society.
I have nothing more to speak to you sir. You can believe in your mind that I am running away, I just see this as a waste of time.
You are obviously one of those psychic followers who disguise themselves as Skeptics and then attempt to appear as real skeptics "Debunking", rather Slandering the people who disproved your false hypothesis.
@AtheistTabbiChan And this was your "OPEN MIND?". I have never called myself the odious term skeptic. Its a major personality defect. Why d you think I am a skeptic? Oh I get it now you didn't understand the video in the first place. And there is no mention of psychic things in the video. Sleep well with your Randi Doll. Good night.
@kimbo99 You hate me right now, so your opinion is biased. Therefore you cannot properly judge me in a social occurance whether or not I am smart, considering your view of Norm is "Smart is good, stupid is bad". Considering you are too stupid to consider yourself to be the one who is mistaken, you automatically see me as stupid and yourself as smart. This is a very arrogant way of thinking. I do not do this thinking, but you seem to take pride in complimenting yourself.
@kimbo99 Desperately clinging onto whatever has become of Uri Geller or whatever. Well goodbye. If you wanna keep proving your immaturity bby replying, know that I wont read them. Goodbye.
@AtheistTabbiChan Uri Geller was 40 yrs ago. Before you were born. Irrelevant Forever arguing off point with an imaginary opponent inside your own head is classic pseudoskepticism. A major defect. The other Pskep feauture you exhibit is father deficiency that's why you cling to Randi your supplementary Dad. That's OK but its quite wrong to include raging at other people to assuage your grief. Its mindless ranting at a brick wall. Your demons are in your own head.
@kimbo99 Now, are you going to continously slander me, or are you going to go get a life, or atleast write a book instead of flaming random girls on the internet because they like an old man who you seem to hate, based on some random slander that you just took a psychics word for.
@kimbo99 Neither do I believe that you should consider -every single- response I make to defend myself from your large accusations about everyone who disagree with you being pseudo skeptics, and anyone who dont take your word for everything, when you have nothing to back it up with, are immature.
You are very unintelligent, considering your close mindedness. I would not have brought this up had you not yourself childishly brought up intelligence as an argument.
@kimbo99 Ah, so I thought well. You are not a skeptic, you just pretend to be one to criticise the Skeptics who debunk your belief in the supernatural. Ill take a look at that site. However, i will do it with a open mind, except yours filled with the premade assertion that all skeptics are wrong.
@AtheistTabbiChan You are making all that up. You shouldn't. I know the many shades of meaning of the word skeptic. And how its meaning has been hijacked and distorted. You need to know them too. My beliefs are irrelevant to the way that pseuodskeptics parade their disabilities here.
@kimbo99 And you proved your immaturity by attempting to childishly take the last word. Well I am going to answer you regardless. it's clear your not a skeptic. Now I know why you've been criticising Randi and Sagan, along with Shermer. Your just a psychic follower who blindly believe whatever the psychics tell you.
Randi is a nice old man. You should stop wasting your time criticising him with something that has no base. It seems to be all you live for.
@kimbo99 of course of course, keep going on about everyone else except yourself being pseudo skeptics XD it's entertainign. Go prove paranormality exists. Do it on public TV. You dont need Randi to do that you know. If you so childishly believe in magic powers.
Are you done continuing a pointless debate? If you are too close minded to even consider yourself to be wrong, then I have nothing to discuss with you.
@AtheistTabbiChan In his outing statement Randi confessed most of his life was misery. Understandably. I suspect many of his devotees like yourself are also deeply unhappy. You are certainly signalling that. Am I right? Will ranting at me (and others) improve your personal happiness? Do tell.
@kimbo99 I highly doubt that Randi admitted his life was misery and he was living a lie. You people cannot seem to provide -any- proper documentation of him doing it. And even if you see it as "immature" that I dont take your word for it, i am not going to take an anti skeptics word for it.
And I am not ranting at you. I am criticising you. Someone your age should be more smarter than this. Are you done spamming me, or can we end this? Your too close minded to consider you might be wrong.
@AtheistTabbiChan Randi "From some seventy years of personal experience, I can tell you that there's not much "gay" about being homosexual. ( get it Tabbi- grief) For the first twenty years of my life, I had to live in the shadows, in a culture that was - at least outwardly - TOTALLY HOSTILE to any hint of that variation of life style."
You see Tabbi "Surrounded by TOTAL HOSTLITY" It's on his own JREF outing page you. Here I am spoon feeding you. Now Bawl again.
@AtheistTabbiChan . No, someone my age doesn't have to conform to your hysterical rules, Tabbi. Its my video. I make the rules. Know that. I am much smarter than you. Most people are smarter than you. My age is irrelevant. I don't spam people. Has it ever occurred to you that most people in society are smarter than you? Now rant again Tabbi.
@kimbo99 So it's a hysterical rule to not take someones word over actual proper documentation? That's rather idiotic.
And infact, I do not really care what you think. Infact, most what i've heard from people is that i am significantly smart. Definitely smarter than someone who considers all the greatest skeptics Pseudo skeptics based on some baseless documentation with no actual quote or letters to confirm the evidence that Randi said so.
I am not as arrogant as you to bring up my own IQ.
Theres no documentation of a "Kolodzey", ever attempting to challenge James Randi, and if he did, James Randi would happily give up his 1million dollars if he lost. James is searching for real paranormality, hes not attempting to disprove it. It's only a bonus that in the case he is right, kids wont grow up thinkin Paranormality is true.
You just spouted out a random story with no documenting claiming James ran from a challenge offer. Silly.
@AtheistTabbiChan - I decided, and announced privately on May 19th, 2006, that I would accept the application of one Rico Kolodzey. He has been the noisiest of the no-food claimants, and [Richard] Milton apparently accepts his claim that he lives on water alone, and has done so for decades. Yes, read that again, so you’ll appreciate my dilemma. In the 100 days since, we’ve been fussing over an appropriate and acceptable protocol, and getting nowhere... " James Randi, on August 25,2006
@kimbo99 For now, I have yet to find -anything- about either Randi or Carl Sagan on this website. Looks like a genuinely good website. You just use it as a tool to apply criticism onto these two. I do not see any criticism that in any way, even indirectly links to Sagan or Randi. However I will keep looking.
@AtheistTabbiChan "There is no evidence/documentation of " is a favourite opening line of pseudo skeptics. Just 3-4 entries down Randi explains- it was there for you to read. gilbertghoule entry - So it was YOU who spouted the mindless random story . Oh do carry on doing that. It's classic Pskep.
@kimbo99 So I should blindly believe a random Youtube video slandering James Randi? If not listening to any random thing on youtube makes you a pseudo skeptic, if the Amazing Randi, host of the Amazing Meeting is apparently a pseudo skeptic, if expecting Psychic supporters to slander Randi and not wanting to look more into every random Youtube video slandering him makes you a pseudo skeptic. Then I am a proud pseudo skeptic.
I apologise. I do disagree with you, but I respect if you disagree w-
@AtheistTabbiChan-- Be careful what you are proud off. Find out what you think you are proud of first.
debunkingskepticsDOT com is a good start. It's a serious study of Pseudoskeptics and their many lockstep habits. A great long listing. Board members include a Nobel prize Winner. You'll see yourself there many times over.
Pseudo-sceptic fools. I recommend you peeps search for 'Science and the taboo of Psi' (by Dean Radin) here on youtube and watch it. You might still be saved out of this ultra-material mindset.
@nielss4 Really, i am not too sure about you self proclaimed skeptics I find on this video constantly criticising Randi. You just look like regular psychic followers to me.
@AtheistTabbiChan I am not, just look at the science. Everything that happens at extremely small scale (photons f.e. / or at quantum level) cannot be explained by the materialist view. Yet science chooses not to go down the 'consciousness' explanation. Which is that the mental created the physical, or rather the two are always intertwined. You know what really happens at a black hole? It's when the physical (finite) becomes the mental (infinite) again. Scientists should open their eyes.
@nielss4 No. You base your argument on a very old hypothesis about Black Holes. Nothing that happens in a Black Hole can be observed, therefore we have no definite answer. However I doubt it defies the laws of physics, and if it does, it would just add onto exceptions of the laws of physics.
@AtheistTabbiChan Well, the problem with science is that it only observes r > 0 , but it refuses to acknowledge the existence of r = 0 . Are scientists afraid to go down that road? Afraid of loosing their jobs, status? Highly valued scientists most often lack the qualities that make geniuses, why? Because they are shackled. They refuse to think outside the box. How can photons for example flicker trillions of times per second? It's because they are the bridge between r = 0 and r > 0 .
@AtheistTabbiChan You doubt Black Holes defy the laws of physics? Are you an idiot? Doesn't quantum physics already defy these laws? So why wouldn't Black Holes? Mini black holes are created all the time aswell. Physics isn't the great truth, it's mathematics. Physics is simply applied mathematics. Did you some autists can solve complicated calculations with ease? Why can they do this? Because they tap into the unconscious mind. You should read some articles on armageddonconspiracy.co.uk
@AtheistTabbiChan Secondly, do you want to know another way how Black Holes can be created? Simply make mass particles (matter) travel at the speed of light. Because the speed of light is where the finite becomes infinite. In a sense, light is already a black hole then, but more like a Light Hole :p . And aren't scientists contradicting themselves? They say a black hole is where mass becomes infinite. And what is infinite mass? It is nothing. Zero. r = 0 . Infinite mental events.
@AtheistTabbiChan So they acknowledge that infinite exists, but refuse to adjust their materialist view. Why? Are they stupid? Or are they simply propagandists of materialism? This is not science, this is more like religion. Science should be unbiased. You didn't expect this kind of logic from a nut psychic follower didn't you? ;p Well, read armageddonconspiracy.co.uk . Articles like The Enigma of Existence , The Strangest Truth, The Imaginary Dimension , etc.
Ok, Bonzi buddy, I think you've drawn a skewed conclusion. As it is a scientific fact that no human could survive on only water, for any significant length of time, and do to so may cause irrepairable harm or even death to the participant. Randi's cash award doesn't apply to people who offer to set themselves on fire, fly off rootops, starve themselves, or other potentially deadly stunts. It applies to those who claim they possess telekinesis, ESP or similar powers. He isn't looking to be sued.
"... I decided, and announced privately on May 19th, 2006, that I would accept the application of one Rico Kolodzey. He has been the noisiest of the no-food claimants, and [Richard] Milton apparently accepts his claim that he lives on water alone, and has done so for decades. Yes, read that again, so you’ll appreciate my dilemma. In the 100 days since, we’ve been fussing over an appropriate and acceptable protocol, and getting nowhere... " James Randi, Randi.org on August 25, 2006
@Cutlesnap Your thoughtless naive comment echoed here by many others of your kind will be frozen in this column.Thanks for parading your disability to this ongoing study.
@kimbo99 You call this a study? Why don't you conduct this research yourself? Lock the guy up and measure the measurables. Repeat it to make sure that it is in fact something that can be proven like science does and post your findings in a reputable publication. Than start talking sh@t. If you can't do any of this, shut the f@ck up.
@maxx0xxam This video is a bait to encourage Randi pseudoskeptics to parade their mental disabilities. Thanks for participating yourself with such gusto.You provide much material manfesting your incompetence.The study you request is being forwarded to you. With pleasure and also a Supreme Court lawyers finding of 10 major contract defects rendering Randi's million dollar contract offer null and void.
@kimbo99 So you're going to sit here and insult me because im a pseudo scientific shmuck? I havent even said anything mean to you. Our debate has yet to get heated? O.o
And even if he did first make that rule after he was offered with it, why isnt that acceptable? He didnt think of someone asking him to allow a stunt like that till they did, whereas he didnt wish to be part of it should the person die. It counts for psychics and people with "ESP", so forth.
@AtheistTabbiChan Not insults. I simply describe the repetitious behaviours of pseudo skeptics. You are a good example so far. I am neither Christian nor religious. That question usually comes from gays posing as "rational thinkers" and scientists on youtube. You all march in lockstep.
@Cutlesnap Your "argument" is dishonest and appealing to stupidity in more than one way.
This refusal by Randi was years after Kolodzey's offer and was not a precondition. That shows that Randi changes the rules to avoid confrontation with evidence against his propaganda. It is in principle easy to declare any demonstration of the falsehood of materialist prejudices as dangerous (and it is !).
Furthermore, he used his offer to challenge Ellen Greve in 2005 on the same claim.
@LooksAeterna So what? If you knew anything about Randis challenge youd know that he doesnt accept deadly stunts that could possibly kill the participant. He isnt looking to eb sued.'
Your just one of those lame 80s Psychic followers. The world has moven on, you should too. Psychics rarely exist these days.
@AtheistTabbiChan "If you knew anything about Randis challenge youd know that he doesnt accept deadly stunts"
You got the sequence wrong because he made that up after the challenge, as everyone knows. Moreover, the argumentation is circular which anyone recognizes with a semblance of analytical thinking ability. Where did you come up with your statistics.
Pre-rational, unscientific schmuck.
To people with serious thinking, I suggest you start with "Irreducible Mind" Kelly, Kelly et al.
its not paranormal to eat food and tell people you dont eat food, i can do that too, it would be extremely irresponsible to set up a control test where people dont eat for 6 months
@rudinator2112 Purpose of the video is to attract pseudoskeps to parade their disabilties. You are doing just that. arguing off point, arguing with your own non existent strawman. Arguing with yourself . No 6 months mentioned anywhere in the video.You could Introduce still more of your own irrelevant pre-prepared material and argue with yourself indefinitely..Typical Pskep disability
@rudinator2112 I am a joke ? NO you stepped into this trap video parading your disabilties for all to see. Its a data collection exercise.. A study. Paranormal ? Its subnormal of you to introduce your own material into an argument and thus argue with yourself on irrelevant subjects. You may as well argue broom closets and spark plugs next. PSST try monosodium glutimate.That's the real high ground.
@chansetwo There is no surprise you made that thoughtless comment. Its a Pseudoskeptic classic line. No words spoken or images presented can teach a professional denialist and contrarian such as your kind. Nor am I surprised you are asking to be spoon fed information thru this 500 character keyhole.. Its a learning disability not to know that you just type keywords into Google and hit enter.and information fills your screen. Its amazing ! Its on the INTERNET a new fangled thing.
@kimbo99 Except for that not all the information on the internet is accurate, which is why you have to check their sources not just check to see they have them.
I've seen many people put a source down that does not say anything about what they are claiming the source for, and other times their source list the original site as their own source. Other times they list a source that has no credibility at all.
Not that it matters because the guy rejected to being locked in a room with only water.
@Vynjira You know, we are all aware of mis and dis information ?. We enjoy exercising our discernment skills.Pseudo skeptics don't. They wish to be spoon fed. And this is not a courtroom.......And you are not a lawyer. Nor a judge.Nor a detective. Nor a scientist. The repeated requests for sources and references is a content free arguing tactic used by mindless Pskeps..
@kimbo99 Oh you're right, we should just be able to repeat any claims we read them on the internet. My bad, I thought you were trying to present a credible claim.
Like I said none of it matters as Rico Kolodzey rejected Randi's testing conditions, after all you "Open Minded" people decided to rip on Randi's safety concerns.
Lastly, to people like you who pretend to know what they are talking about...
If David Blaine can do it, why do you think its Supernatural?(Magicians fool Doctors too)
@Vynjira Randi is on the board of a Disinformation organisation False Memory Syndrome Foundation. Board members write glowing support of chlid molesting as the ultimate experience. Safety concerns over a week without food? Its called a diet. you fool.Does'nt hurt anybody." thought you were trying to present a credible claim." Its not even my video.

When the body is deprived of new fuel (i.e., food), it breaks into its energy reserves to keep going. The body stores energy in the form of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins.
"The JREF will not test claims that are likely to cause injury of any sort, such as those involving the withholding of air, food, or water, or the use of illicit materials, drugs, or dangerous devices."

In a couple of weeks a starving person experience this only a little bit, after that he would have irreparable organ damage. Worth a shot for 1 Mil but a lose lose for Randi.

Although I have never had hallucinations as a skeptic, I am sure a lot of my drug taking friends have, so that could be correct.

Kolodzey is just another fraud. He can sit still for a week and have minimal weight loss because he isn't burning calories, but NO ONE IN THE WORLD could last for any longer than a few months without serious permanent damage to their bodies. Morbidly obese people are the only ones who could do it and survive, and even then they will likely suffer damage to major organs. Randi is human enough to realize that the attempt alone is very unhealthy and he won't allow people to die under his care.

Your body will start breaking down your glycogen built up in your fat and liver, then ketone bodies in your muscles in order to stay alive. This claim is very dangerous because it would have to be tested over an exorbitant period, and the longer it is tested, the more dangerous it becomes.

And that week in the video without food does no harm whatsoever. Fasting. Many pseudoskeptics reveal their disabilties here. That is the function of this video.

@softzephy I have critique the James Randi's 1 million dollar paranormal challenge and I find it really doubtful. First of all, since it is up to the claimant to pay his/her tests and not the JREF, hence it is very likely those tests contains methodological flaws due to the lack of appropriate numbers of sample-size, which causes the statistical power to be very weak. Second of all, since the statistical power is weak, there is a high probability of commiting a Type II error on the tests.
IceAges14Aces 8 months ago
@softzephy And most importantly, have they ever bothered to do a power-analysis before conducting such tests? Well, since the tests' statistical power is weak, I really doubt it. You have to understand that there are effects out there that cannot be detected by a single experiments, nor by small sample-size. If unbiased, scientific studies shows that ESP is present on rigorously, controlled experiments, but it's effect-size is really small, would a single JREF tests detect it? No.

Part 6 (Final, I hope)
It seems to me more likely that someone might have fooled a group of researchers who have not submitted their experimental process and data to peer review, than that well-established and repeatedly tested theories of practical use in science today, are simply wrong.

Part 5
The claim to have not consumed any water I find slightly more difficult to believe, as he would likely have presented at least some symptoms of dehydration after two weeks.
It's very easy to consume water and urinate in a shower without being detected.
Of course, it's possible that none of the explanations I have given were involved in this scenario, but my point is that there are reasonable explanations.

Part 4
I don't find it difficult to believe that perhaps he did not eat for the entire two weeks of the test.
If he had been consuming very little food for a while metabolic functions would have stabilized at some point, and the researchers said that they were looking for the changes in metabolism that normally accompany the start of fasting.

Part 3
The subject needs to be monitored, and it's difficult to monitor someone sufficiently if you are concerned about their privacy.
Add to this the fact that other scientists much less concerned with privacy have been fooled in these kinds of studies and it does not stretch the imagination to think that Jani may have found a way to get around their safeguards.

Part 2
Unfortunately there isn't very much information available about the experimental procedures involved, and the doctors don't appear to have published their findings in any journal (though I might have missed something, I don't know enough Hindi to reliably search journals in that language).
What I found a bit worrying was that preserving Jani's "privacy" and "dignity" were among the researcher top priorities. Not that those are bad things, but this is supposed to be a scientifc study.

@kimbo99 Other people mentioned it for the same reason I did: because it's relevant. There might have been relatively safe ways to do this experiment if done carefully (though the personnel cost would likely be quite high), but they were unable to agree on terms of testing. The details of the negotiations were not released as far as I know, but if Rico really thought that James was being unfair in his terms I would think that Rico would have publicly disclosed the details that he deemed unfair.

@download333 There was an indian ascetic who submitted himself to that test under controlled conditions and monitored for weeks by scientists. He never had any food or water. He didn't lost any weight or water from his body. This was taped and featured on some documentary. Scientists were puzzled, but it was proved beyond doubt that this is possible, although challenging for out current paradigm. Randi refused, because if he is a bit informed, he knew there were good chances he would lose.

Part 1
Everything we know about physics, chemistry and human anatomy tells us that we can't get by for long without food and water. Either verified theories in all these fields of study which have stood up to worldwide scientific scrutiny are all wrong, or someone is tricking you. Which seems more likely?

kimbo99 1 year ago
@kimbo99 I won't apologize for anyone I think is wrong or lying. I think Randi is a bit brusque with these people sometimes, but I'll cut him some slack given how long he's been dealing with them. However, all this is missing the point. In this instance we really don't have enough information to say what happened. It could be that they had a genuine disagreement about the test procedure. Maybe James or Rico spent the entire time screaming obscenities.

But even if he did ignore this request is because he wouldnt wish to participate in a deadly challenge which could have gotten him sued.

@AtheistTabbiChan I am not, just look at the science. Everything that happens at extremely small scale (photons f.e. / or at quantum level) cannot be explained by the materialist view. Yet science chooses not to go down the 'consciousness' explanation. Which is that the mental created the physical, or rather the two are always intertwined. You know what really happens at a black hole? It's when the physical (finite) becomes the mental (infinite) again. Scientists should open their eyes.
nielss4 1 year ago
@nielss4 No. You base your argument on a very old hypothesis about Black Holes. Nothing that happens in a Black Hole can be observed, therefore we have no definite answer. However I doubt it defies the laws of physics, and if it does, it would just add onto exceptions of the laws of physics.

@AtheistTabbiChan We will see who is right soon won't we? ;)
nielss4 1 year ago
@AtheistTabbiChan Well, the problem with science is that it only observes r > 0 , but it refuses to acknowledge the existence of r = 0 . Are scientists afraid to go down that road? Afraid of loosing their jobs, status? Highly valued scientists most often lack the qualities that make geniuses, why? Because they are shackled. They refuse to think outside the box. How can photons for example flicker trillions of times per second? It's because they are the bridge between r = 0 and r > 0 .
nielss4 1 year ago
@AtheistTabbiChan You doubt Black Holes defy the laws of physics? Are you an idiot? Doesn't quantum physics already defy these laws? So why wouldn't Black Holes? Mini black holes are created all the time aswell. Physics isn't the great truth, it's mathematics. Physics is simply applied mathematics. Did you some autists can solve complicated calculations with ease? Why can they do this? Because they tap into the unconscious mind. You should read some articles on armageddonconspiracy.co.uk
nielss4 1 year ago
@AtheistTabbiChan Secondly, do you want to know another way how Black Holes can be created? Simply make mass particles (matter) travel at the speed of light. Because the speed of light is where the finite becomes infinite. In a sense, light is already a black hole then, but more like a Light Hole :p . And aren't scientists contradicting themselves? They say a black hole is where mass becomes infinite. And what is infinite mass? It is nothing. Zero. r = 0 . Infinite mental events.
nielss4 1 year ago
@AtheistTabbiChan So they acknowledge that infinite exists, but refuse to adjust their materialist view. Why? Are they stupid? Or are they simply propagandists of materialism? This is not science, this is more like religion. Science should be unbiased. You didn't expect this kind of logic from a nut psychic follower didn't you? ;p Well, read armageddonconspiracy.co.uk .

Ok, Bonzi buddy, I think you've drawn a skewed conclusion. As it is a scientific fact that no human could survive on only water, for any significant length of time, and do to so may cause irrepairable harm or even death to the participant. Randi's cash award doesn't apply to people who offer to set themselves on fire, fly off rootops, starve themselves, or other potentially deadly stunts. It applies to those who claim they possess telekinesis, ESP or similar powers. He isn't looking to be sued.

This refusal by Randi was years after Kolodzey's offer and was not a precondition. That shows that Randi changes the rules to avoid confrontation with evidence against his propaganda. It is in principle easy to declare any demonstration of the falsehood of materialist prejudices as dangerous (and it is !).
Furthermore, he used his offer to challenge Ellen Greve in 2005 on the same claim.
