DARN!!

 

They changed the rules for getting the million dollars, because Randi retired and now they're setting up "new" protocols, which supposedly come out this year. I have a hypothesis on how to get the million dollars. I actually completely held the desire to go do it within the past few months, grab a suitcase of my clothes, and personally walk down there and get the million dollars. That'd be like hundreds of miles, but I'd do it.

 

Anyone willing to back me if they have it as a condition that I need academic support? Also, I more than likely will not tell you how to get the million dollars.

 

I firmly believe the new rules will prevent me from personally getting the prize, which leads to an unfortunate situation; but I don't think Randi cares. He'll simply come to an understanding that something has "changed."

 

I thought of going down there, claiming the prize, and if they refused to give it to me, suing for fraud. It appears they're saying they don't want people coming down and asking to be tested. http://web.randi.org/home/jref-status

What would be you claim?

Unless the place is selling something, nobody wants someone showing up on their doorstep unannounced. Likely wouldn't even be set up a proper test without advance notice.

This sounds like you've got a catch or loophole you think they haven't thought about, or that they haven't seen over the years, rather than actually trying to win the challenge on merit.

You should have seen that coming

Nice so the challenge is still up, I thought it closed. Maybe I will go there with my psiwheel.

 

..... On the other hand ..... what is this ?

As they explain, they are continuing the challenge under a slightly different format. The fact that they prize critical thought has NOT changed. They will still be requiring ideas to have evidential support.

... of which there is none for the psi wheel as discussed in that thread. The mechanism is well known.
