AFIS Languedoc-Roussillon. Le défaiseur de miracles - G. Majax. Note de lecture de Jean-Pierre Thomas - SPS n° 209, mai-juin 1994 Illusioniste bien connu des télespectateurs ("Y a un truc" - "Passe-passe" - "Abracadabra"...)
Majax est aussi un comédien (on l’a vu, à la fin l’an dernier, dans la pièce "Félicité" au Théâtre de la Main d’Or à Paris), et auteur de plusieurs ouvrages démystifiant les truquages des escrocs de la parapsychologie "Le grand bluff", "Le secret des tricheurs". Il est aussi à l’origine du service téléphonique "SOS Paranormal" créé en 1990 pour enquêter sur les phénomènes inexpliqués (mais pas inexplicables) : maisons hantées, apparitions, esprits frappeurs et autres faits surnaturels. Ce niçois de naissance n’en était pas, comme il s’est plu à le raconter, il y a longtemps, à des journalistes crédules, à faire disparaître ses hochets dans son berceau à la stupéfaction de ses parents ; il n’a pas suivi non plus de formation à l’école internationale de magie du Tibet (dont l’existence est plus qu’hypothétique).

The Gerontological Society of America recently put out a free publication designed to educate patients about cognitive biases and heuristics and how they can adversely affect decision making about health care.

It is a well written excellent summary of common cognitive biases with a thorough list of references. What is most encouraging about this publication is the simple fact that it recognizes that this is an issue. The report is aimed simultaneously at health care providers and patients.

The systematic review had two main findings: Jan 10 2017. Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia. JREF Swift Blog. So you’ve seen it all over the place, in each and every unoriginal TV program, documentary and news piece regarding some supposed prophecy by the ancient Mayas and their calendar. Unfortunately for the credibility of the many self-proclaimed researchers, sloppy documentary producers, misinformed journalists and the whole lot of the new-agey crowd, the Mayas did not issue any prophecy whatsoever. Not ever. And, by the way, the circular, certainly imposing monolith being photographed and videographed to exhaustion in order to illustrate the imaginary prophecy is neither Maya nor a calendar. But the tale of the Maya prophecy in itself is not too good to start with. Basically because it is an utter fabrication. In order to understand this, we have to understand the concept of how the Mayas recorded the passage of time. Skepticblog. Center for Inquiry. THE MAGONIA BLOG. UFO Religions.
Those of you who have gone to my homepage in the last day or two have already noticed the changes, but I need to make an official announcement.
For the past year a professional designer has taken my site on as a gratis project (Joseph Fioramonti of POSTMORTAL Design). He’s streamlined the site and blogs on the back end, put together some original art work, and made the blogs look like they belong to the homepage. I like the look and What does this mean for readers? For now, you can still get to all this blog (and my other ones) from the new homepage, or use the redirect I’ve had for several years: uforeligions.com. Over the next week: I’ll be posting a note on my old homepage directing people to the new oneI’ll be populating all the posts on this blog to their new homes on the new blog site that lives within the new homepage.
