Great video. Explaining that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence is something that should be mandatory is schools, and skepticism should have a bigger part in the science curriculum.

I will now laugh at people when they use the word skeptic in the wrong form. I will then proceed with holding back my answer as to why I am laughing at them.

[stefenski]

it all depends on the individual. the experience or lack of experience, of the individual in any given phenomena. eg. A person who has experienced 40 years of materialization via a medium does not require extraordinary evidence. A person with no knowledge of any such phenomena would.
