On April 1st, 2012, Bem received the infamous "Pigasus Award" in the scientist category. Announced on April Fool's Day, the James Randi Educational Foundation gives the awards to highlight parapsychological, paranormal, or psychic fakers that the organization finds to be harmful to society.
The guy is a rabid pseudo skeptic. He's known to disregard evidence or demand experiments to be restructured in unrealistic ways ... Only to prove his "ide-fix" point. He's a stage magician, not a scientist.
If you want to know if psychic material works. You should check out the PEAR institute. Which is associated with princeton university. These guys have worked for decades and have produced evidence with literally millions and millions of repeatable trials. Which also have been repeated by others. They've demonstrated psychic events with a certainty of 0.9999999999 or even worse. There is a chance of one in billions that they are wrong.
Even better... Find a partner and try it for yourself.. There's loads of stuff on the internet to give you information on how to do this for yourself. It's been done over and over again. If you choose to do so you'd be one of millions who decided to demonstrate the truth of this to themselves.
I have done the psiwheel experiment dozens of times with success. I've demonstrated it to friends who immediately repeated it. Just seeing it caused them to be able to do it. Granted they were witches who were comfortable with energy work. But still... It's easy to get it to work, hard to master full control...
In fact I could provide proof or at least strong evidence of psychic 'powers' without resorting to written evidence.
A simple experiment would suffice.
The very proposition that they (the psychic powers) require evidence I find odd at least.
