"Shock me" pseudoskeptic Jeff Wagg is writing for pseudoskeptic Brian Dunning

And, shock me more than he's writing about something related to James Randi without mentioning Randi's own likely fraud.

The piece is about whether or not paranormal challenges, for money, like Randi's, are successful. As for whether they are or not, not my ultimate concern.

As for Wagg? His pseudoskepticism included a personal attack, accusing me of both "chemophobia" (which sounds like something coming from the Dunning, Michael Shermer and others libertarian pseudoskepticism world) and "mansplaining," which came off as cancel culture, especially when he didn't have any actual skepticism toward the Houston pseudoskeptic who first made the claim.

As for Dunning? He was a grifter along with being a fraudster. It's shocking that Donald Trump hasn't pardoned him yet. He's also a libertarian when he goes pseudoskepticism.

For that matter, arguably, Randi was too, which makes me further wonder about Wagg. (I will give him credit for trying to clean up some of the post-Randi mess at JREF. OTOH, that makes it more perplexing that he cites Randi's specific example rather than something more generic.)

As for Randi and his identity-thieving lover, Devyi Peña, go to this piece about the "mess" that included Shermer.

As for the matter at hand? $1 million paranormal challenges are effective at preaching to the converted; I doubt they're that effective for anything else, and certainly not for converting paranormal true believers.
