Silviu - http://www.victorzammit.com/skeptics/winston.html#18 prezinta niste linkuri moarte pe http://www.psych.cornell.edu
Uri Geller a fost demult discreditat, si James Randy i-a reprodus trucurile live. Ai auzit de The Amazing Meeting (TAM)? In fiecare an sunt invitati tot felul de "parapsihologi" cu tot felul de pretinse puteri, sa-si execute numarul la TAM sub conditii controlate. Fiecare, de fiecare data, esueaza. Premiul de $1.000.000 a ramas fara castigatori pana acum (si sa nu uitam cine e Randy, un fost "magician" ca pretinsii astia).
Am citit si al doilea link, despre Targ si Puthoff. Despre Targ:
He joined Stanford Research Institute (SRI) in 1972 where he and Harold Puthoff coined the term "remote viewing" for the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target using parapsychological means. Targ's work on remote viewing has been characterized as pseudoscience[2][3] and has also been criticized for lack of rigor.[4][5]
Remote viewing (or RV) is the practice of seeking impressions about a distant or unseen target using subjective means, in particular, extra-sensory perception (ESP) or "sensing with mind".[2] Typically a remote viewer is expected to give information about an object, event, person or location that is hidden from physical view and separated at some distance.[26][27] The term was coined in the 1970s by Targ and Puthoff, while working as researchers at SRI, to differentiate it from clairvoyance.[28][29]
In 1972 Puthoff and Targ tested remote viewer Ingo Swann at SRI, and the experiment led to a visit from two employees of the CIA's Directorate of Science and Technology.[30][non-primary source needed] The result was a $50,000 CIA-sponsored project.[30][non-primary source needed] The SRI team published papers in Nature[31] and Proceedings of the IEEE.[32] They also presented their work in a symposium on consciousness at a national meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science.[33]
A number of scientific reviews of the SRI (and later) experiments on remote viewing found no credible evidence that remote viewing works, and the topic of remote viewing is regarded as pseudoscience.[2][34][35][36]
Reception[edit]
The psychologists David Marks and Richard Kammann attempted to replicate Targ and Puthoff’s remote viewing experiments and disputed the claims that the experiments were successful - for example, they were able to successfully identify targets from cues given by the investigators and recorded in the transcripts. They concluded that "Until remote viewing can be confirmed in conditions which prevent sensory cueing the conclusions of Targ and Puthoff remain an unsubstantiated hypothesis."[37] The researchers said that Targ and Puthoff had not provided unpublished transcripts when requested, but that after obtaining them from a judge in the study they were able to find "a wealth of cues."[38]
Simon Hoggart and Mike Hutchinson described Targ as willing to believe and overly credulous.[39] A 1988 report by the United States National Research Council (NRC) concluded, "there should remain little doubt that the Targ-Puthoff studies are fatally flawed".[40]
Remote viewing was popularized in the 1990s upon the declassification of certain documents related to the Stargate Project, a $20 million research program that had started in 1975 and was sponsored by the U.S. government, in an attempt to determine any potential military application of psychic phenomena. The program was terminated in 1995 after it failed to produce any useful intelligence information. David Goslin, of the American Institutes for Research said, "There's no documented evidence it had any value to the intelligence community".[41]
A variety of scientific studies of remote viewing have been conducted. Some earlier, less sophisticated experiments produced positive results but they had invalidating flaws.[35] None of the more recent experiments have shown positive results when conducted under properly controlled conditions.[28][41][42] This lack of successful experiments has led the mainstream scientific community to reject remote viewing, based upon the absence of an evidence base, the lack of a theory which would explain remote viewing, and the lack of experimental techniques which can provide reliably positive results.[36]
Science writers Gary Bennett, Martin Gardner, Michael Shermer and professor of neurology Terence Hines describe the topic of remote viewing as pseudoscience.[3][43][44][45]
Further work on parapsychology[edit]
The SRI remote viewing project also encompassed the work of such consulting "consciousness researchers" as the artist/writer Ingo Swann and Military Intelligence Corps chief warrant officer Joseph McMoneagle.[38][41][46]
Targ and Puthoff both expressed the belief that Uri Geller, retired police commissioner Pat Price and artist Ingo Swann all had genuine psychic abilities.[47] However, flaws were found with the controls in the experiments and Geller was caught using sleight of hand on many other occasions.[48] The SRI tests gave Geller substantial control over the procedures used to test him, with few limits on his behavior during the test.[49]
In 1982, Targ with Keith Harary and Anthony White formed a company, Delphi Associates, to sell psychic consulting services to individuals and businesses.[21][50] In the book Mind Race,[51] Targ and Harary claimed that all nine silver futures predictions made at Delphi in 1982 were correct; however, a later attempt failed.[52] According to Henry Gordon "As with most psychic claims, there is little documentation to back them up".[53] Ray Hyman has written "Targ and Harary's much-publicized case for the reality of psi and the validity of remote viewing is filled with exaggerated and unsupported conclusions. Their careless scholarship leads to new deceptions."[50]

. . .El ţi-a spus, omule pământean, ce este bine. Şi ce altceva cere Iehova de la tine, decât să practici dreptatea, să iubeşti bunătatea şi să umbli modest cu Dumnezeul tău?
