- #JamesRandi"La #langue reflète les idéologies particulières de la société qui la parle. Elle en reflète aussi les transformations."
-> "puissant véhicule [...] d'exclusion et de discrimination."

@ThankGodItsFriday @arstechnica You should read more carefully. One cannot ‘prove’ a negative, but the commentary mentions the demonstration by #JamesRandi that homeopathy is quackery. I also refer to the numerous *scientific* studies of #homeopathy failing to show greater efficacy than any other placebo.
Ignorance is bliss!

Aliás, fica a sugestão pra quem tiver tempo e talento para esse tipo de coisa: criar um canal de ceticismo no youtube, inspirado no "Flim-Flam" do #JamesRandi. Até onde eu sei, não existe nenhum canal em português no You Tube com esta proposta.

RIP.
"James Randi, a magician who later challenged spoon benders, mind readers and faith healers with such voracity that he became regarded as the country’s foremost skeptic, has died, his foundation announced. He was 92.
The James Randi Educational Foundation confirmed the death, saying simply that its founder succumbed to “age-related causes” on Tuesday."
