Michael Shermer takes a seminar on remote viewing, a form of ESP in which one attempts to psychically view a remote object, person, or place through intuition or a sixth sense. Shermer reveals the normal explanation for this apparently paranormal phenomenon.

To Get To A Better …
To Get To A Better Conclusion, Better Drawers Are Needed Otherwise Everything Seems Conceptic At Best, Now If You Were To Clearly Draw Down What Was Caught Then You Might Get A Better Idea.
I saw a red car… …
I saw a red car…hmm..
Don’t worry I quit …
Don’t worry I quit all together..I don’t really see the need…Iv already experienced enough.
I know now that these OBE are true..Its REAL.
ITs actually REAL!
jeez dude lol don’t …
jeez dude lol don’t smoke that again
ive seen shermer on …
ive seen shermer on another video being a skeptic for the bible. in this one he has good points. in the bible video he LIED to make a point. he misquoted the bible to make a point. it was about noahs ark. he says the bible said millions of species (bible says kinds) of animals are supposed to be on the ark. this is not what was meant. either hes an idiot for not knowing or a liar for mischaracterizing it
It mattered not …
It mattered not what was chosen…if you want to believe. Automobiles (wheels - round and rotate. An object that moves) Houses (squareish, straight edges, people involved) an apple (roundish). I think that it all has to be much more specific to convince…does James Randi still do the ‘remote view what is in my safe for the $1million’ test? Ok, I cannot resist…why is SherMER an idiot and a liar?
im undecided, but i …
im undecided, but i think the remote viewing pyshcologist is a little full of shit. however i think the picture he selected was a picture. shoulda used a more solid single object. something that could only be one thing (an apple or something) instead of something complex that you could bring alot of differnt interpretations. this was a great idea and it was kinda ruined by the poor choice of picture. sherman is an idiot and a liar anyway. ask me how
LMAO!!! I am still …
LMAO!!! I am still not convinced…
A point is missed. …
A point is missed. If in making 40 odd vague guesses you can extrapolate reflective descriptions to match a target how would one know which was accurate and actionable? I.e. Where is a warhead hid? well u get pics of planes, mountains, rivers, tunnels… come on!
You need to know where the warhead is, not wehere it might be in 40 different vague areas. HURRY!
you’re inept..it’s …
you’re inept..it’s ok…
I think this video …
I think this video is more in a favor to Remote Viewers, even though I don’t believe in this crap lol.
You should have put …
You should have put a photo of a Playboy Playmate in there, but then again, that guy would have said the circle that woman drew with arrows around it was a boob!
Iv also been …
Iv also been outside my body…I wasn’t dead.
I was High on weed…something was in the weed and it messed us up big time…then i popped out of my body and I freaked out and was taken to the hospital i was panicking so much I couldn’t stay in my head..i kept popping out and floated over my shoulder…but I was able to control my body.
I will never EVER touched that again.
I was OUTSIDE MY BODY….I haven’t been the same since. there is something to this reality then meets the eye…
Iv done this …
Iv done this unwittingly during ART therapy when i was a kid.
I can see shapes on all kinds of surfaces..so i told her that i could see this shape in the carpet and i drew it for her…It was a circle with a line through it at the top edge of the circumference.
When she saw it she gave me a look and then grabbed a folder with a series of memory game cards. She then showed me a card with the same exact figure on it…I didn’t even know about the game she planned on playing with me that day.
hmm not exact but …
hmm not exact but interesting
I admire Shermer …
I admire Shermer for exposing fraud. I do however think if he was slapped with the truth he would be skeptical.
Absolutely. With …
Absolutely. With many photos, we may never truly know if what was photographed was *just* a hubcap or in reality a paper plate.
Yes, it’s great …
Yes, it’s great that he’s not afraid to call them on their BS. Most people would be too polite with these “remote viewers” and give them the benefit of the doubt. That’s the trick to psychics: they use human nature to their advantage. Be as vague as possible and you will be given the benefit of the doubt.
I read Randi every …
I read Randi every Friday, Scientific American every month, Michael Shermer whenever I run across him, and skeptical literature whenever looking for opposing viewpoints on everything from soup to nuts. That being said, the phrase “whirlpool of energy” in remote viewing what turned out to be a galactic photo is tough to attribute to chance. Interesting.
Why doesn’t he get …
Why doesn’t he get Ingo Swan rather than a bunch of amateurs to test…him and Randi suck cock
this is simply not …
this is simply not true . . . what would you count as evidence against your claim? My guess is that nothing would satisfy you. Shermer is perfectly consistent and in line with true skepticism. Don’t get all ridiculous and argue for such ludicrous contrary to fact claims.
There are at least …
There are at least 2 videos out there where
Shermer says”Be skeptical of me,be skeptical of the skeptics.
Hahayoureretarded. …
Hahayoureretarded. Thanks, I guess I carry on with these fools because I actually feel sorry for them. I keep hoping just one will question with an open mind what I say vs Randi and Shermer. It’s actually scarey the total closed mindedness of people who claim to be critical thinkers. Shermer and Randi have an obvious agenda, why so many refuse to see and question that is a mystery to me. It is the mindset that makes a Hitler possible. Randi is a master at exploiting the weak minded. Bill Perron
Ultimately, they …
Ultimately, they are extremists and extremists cannot be relied upon to see anything clearly. I remember seeing a debate on Larry King, where among others, Mr Shermer & the UFO believer, Stanton Friedman were guests. They were debating whether we’d been visited by aliens or not and having just read Mr Friedman’s book about Roswell, it was evident there many aspects which could not just be dismissed. In fact, there was compelling evidence to his contention (T.b.c)…
They’re every bit …
They’re every bit as much true believers as the people they stand opposite. What they call scepticism is nothing of the sort. They go out with an agenda to disprove, which means they’ve drawn a conclusion from the get go. I’d like to quote the father of Remote Viewing, Ingo Swann, to eloquently express what I mean: “True skepticism does not begin by being anti-anything. The processes of open consideration and examination (i.e., research)will ultimately establish whether something exists or not.”
