JREF Forum Cookbook

Product Information

I really appreciate when someone takes the time to explain why a thing is or is not correct in detail as opposed to hand waving (even when the hand wave is correct). I just got the sense that the community was too big to really have the feel of a community that I like. Apart from tis one, there is another big English-language skeptic forum that I think you have heard of, the former JREF forum, now the ISF forum. If you as a Japanese person used it, it might lose some of its meaning and be funnier than you intended.

The foundation produced two audio podcasts, For Good Reason which was an interview program hosted by D.J. Grothe has claimed that the JREF's YouTube channel was once the "10th most subscribed nonprofit channel of all time", [24] though its status in 2013 was 39th and most non-profits do not register for this status. This forum feels more like living in a small town, where people know each other better, rather than living in the big Jref city. However, in 2015 the James Randi Educational Foundation said they will no longer accept applications directly from people claiming to have a paranormal power, but will offer the challenge to anyone who has passed a preliminary test that meets with their approval. In 2008 the astronomer Philip Plait became the new president of the JREF and Randi its board chairman.

An interest in James Randi and Penn and Teller brought me to the JREF forum long before I started posting on the SGU forum.I do what I can in the international struggle between science and reason and the barbarism, superstition and stupidity that's all around us. Then there are somewhere around 30 posters who are here reliably pretty much every week in some form, each with their own posting styles, personalities, and interests. Effective 9/1/2015 the JREF has made major changes including converting to a grant making foundation and no longer accepting applications for the Million Dollar Prize from the general public. I've heard it used probably once or twice in real life and probably a couple of times in movies and TV, but it's an older phrase that's not used nowadays; I've never used it. You have to actually be concerned that what you say in one thread will be remembered and held against you if you contradict yourself elsewhere.

To date, no one has been able to demonstrate their claimed abilities under the testing conditions, all applicants either failing to demonstrate the claimed ability during the test or deviating from the foundation conditions for taking the test such that any apparent success was held invalid; the prize money remains unclaimed. This is a non-profit, tax-exempt, educational foundation under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue Code, incorporated in the State of Delaware. The organization previously administered the One Million Dollar Paranormal Challenge, a prize of one million U.y. Ok, that doesn't really help, but the slang comes from a deeply rooted culture, so it's not easily explained with words. Consequence was a biweekly podcast hosted by former outreach coordinator Brian Thompson in which regular people shared their personal narratives about the negative impact a belief in pseudoscience, superstition, and the paranormal had had on their lives.
