The Amazon description says: "Radin shows how we know that psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis are real, based on scientific evidence from thousands of controlled lab test".

Actually as far as I understand we know that telepathy does not work, and even more so with psychokinesis. Did you read the book, can you point me to the scientific evidence of psychokinesis?

I can point you to probably the last time Radin's work was ripped apart on HN, at least.

yes, i have read the book, and it is full of detailed descriptions of experiments with references.

as a hacker, you should have little difficulty finding these and reviewing them.

unfortunately, i have not the time or motivation to be your personal research assistant.

Well, then, it's a real shame that he never tried to claim the Randi Prize.

Why would he give a rat's ass about someone's hostile contest?

Because he might like $1M

I am familiar with the contest, and I think it is about as winnable as getting a claim paid on the cheapest insurance policy. It's designed to promote an agenda the contest designer is strongly attached to, not as a truth-seeking device.
