Reported. For bad.

It also just doesn't make sense.

"I knew what my friend was about to say before she said it" – intuitive judgement (from sense-data) is a good explanation

"People guess which of 4 random people are phoning them 40% of the time in a telephone telepathy experiment" – intuitive judgement (from sense-data) makes no sense as an explanation

I've seen old youtube videos saved on ghostarchive, but I'm not sure how extensively it covers it.

I haven't even posted the good stuff

That one guy said no evidence had been published and he would retract his statement if I posted any, so I posted the first three I found and he retracted. Aprt from that I've posted two links about the CIA report. That's it.

your position is unequivocally false

It's a question of evidence. We'll know that from the evidence

Thr ganzfeld procedure seems to be the main replicable one, at least 40 replications.

The US government has put serious money into this stuff, and the most they got out of it was "you can give somebody a mental illness by randomly drugging them."

Actually here's the main report they issued. https://www.cia.gov/readingroom/docs/CIA-RDP96-00791R000200180005-5.pdf

I don't agree with your characterisation that they concluded "you can give somebody a mental illness by randomly drugging them"; they concluded "A statistically significant laboratory effect has been demonstrated in the sense that hits occur more often than chance."

Good comment tbh, though I certainly haven't shared a "wealth of research".

Skepticism also has a lot of weird grifters and scammers like Randi

I'm trying to empathise with them... I get why people become radicals of other kinds... but saying no music, no sex, live by the book, behead those who disagree... what part of that makes people think "I want to get into this, this sounds fun"?

The Arab world has valid grievances, which motivated 9-11 for example, but there's more to it than that.

 

Explain the bookclub: We are reading Volumes 1, 2, and 3 in one year and discussing it in weekly threads. (Volume IV, often published under the title Theories of Surplus Value, will not be included in this particular reading club, but comrades are encouraged to do other solo and collaborative reading.) This bookclub will repeat yearly. The three volumes in a year works out to about 6½ pages a day for a year, 46⅔ pages a week.

I'll post the readings at the start of each week and @mention anybody interested. Let me know if you want to be added or removed.


Just joining us? You can use the archives below to help you reading up to where the group is. There is another reading group on a different schedule at https://lemmygrad.ml/c/genzhou (federated at [email protected] ) which may fit your schedule better. The idea is for the bookclub to repeat annually, so there's always next year.

In other words, aim to get up to the ridiculously long section-heading by Sunday. (The Circumstances which, Independently of the Proportional Division of Surplus-Value into Capital and Revenue, Determine the Extent of Accumulation, namely, the Degree of Exploitation of Labour-Power, the Productivity of Labour, the Growing Difference in Amount between Capital Employed and Capital Consumed, and the Magnitude of the Capital Advanced)

Use any translation/edition you like. Marxists.org has the Moore and Aveling translation in various file formats including epub and PDF: https://www.marxists.org/archive/marx/works/1867-c1/

Ben Fowkes translation, PDF: http://libgen.is/book/index.php?md5=9C4A100BD61BB2DB9BE26773E4DBC5D

AernaLingus says: I noticed that the linked copy of the Fowkes translation doesn't have bookmarks, so I took the liberty of adding them myself. You can either download my version with the bookmarks added, or if you're a bit paranoid (can't blame ya) and don't mind some light command line work you can use the same simple script that I did with my formatted plaintext bookmarks to take the PDF from libgen and add the bookmarks yourself.
