I’ve written here before about James Randi, the retired professional magician and skeptic of the occult, and his James Randi Educational Foundation, which investigate claims of paranormal, supernatural, and occult ideas.
The self-described “News for Nerds” site, Slashdot, has an interview with Randi, in which he answers questions submitted by readers, As one might expect, the discussion focuses on the work, by Randi and the Foundation, to combat irrational and magical thinking. It’s a brief but entertaining read. The page also contains comments from Slashdot readers, which are worth glancing through: there are some insightful ones, though there is, as usual, a lot of drek as well.
