Good thinking society

    There is a great new group in the U.K. called 'The good thinking society' which is a kind of a spin off from Skeptics with a K podcast (which is excellent) and the Merseyside skeptics society

    They've been doing short little youtube videos where they record phone calls to osteopaths or homeopaths or visits to psychic fairs and expose their false claims and in the case of the 'psychic' 'palm reader', the blatant fraud that was going on

    They're well worth supporting IMO and the more people who like and share their youtube videos to raise their profile, the better

    you'd expect a skeptics society to do a bit more than that now. Randi's been doing that for years and to be honest, its quite boring at this stage. we all know the 'psychic' 'palm reader' thing is bull****.

    If we all knew it, then they wouldn't be a billion dollar industry.

    Most people have never heard of James Randi, and even after Randi exposed Peter Popoff he's making a very good living lying to people
