Do read Shermer's book "Why people believe weird things ...", if you must, which is a good insight into logical reasoning and also throws enough light on what skepticism is all about.
Don't miss the Foreword by Stephen Jay Gould.

read it a few years ago.

Loved it.

not quite your topic, I know - but Itd be great if anyone could try being psycic just for 1 day, if it was like adrug or brain-plugin you could use only that once.

Id do it. You could learn what people realy think bout you, see your future and write it down so it can be changd, get enough info on the past from old objects to make a history paper, and probably win a few bets too..

The book you linked, Ellimist - shouldnt it properly be called "Psychic IN a day"..

I'm going to close this thread because it's more of a sales pitch than a topic.
(However I'm not deleting it since some will find the link and material useful for one or other reason)
