Thanks for the catch! I can't figure out where to change the title. Do you know if it's possible to edit the titles once the vids are posted?

Hello, just wanted to mention there's a misspelling in the title and tags of your recent video - should read "Quixote." Great sift!

If you like the premise of the movie, I recommend Harlan Ellison's short story, "The Prowler in the City at the Edge of the World" It's a great Jack-the-Ripper story, with lots of creepy Ellison bits.

"2. that it doubtfull [sic] that shimmer [sic] will prove theories acupuncture and life energy wrong." Of course he won't prove them wrong. To assume he can prove something wrong is a logical fallacy. It formally called, "The fallacy of appealing to lack of proof of the negative"
It's not on Shermer to prove their theories are wrong, it's on the acupuncturists to prove them to be right. To prove a negative, a person would have to be able to account for every moment and every location throughout the history of the entire universe to say definitively "That never happened anywhere, ever." Someone could say, "Santa Claus exists." I say, "No. He doesn't." They say, "Prove it." That's a fallacy. It's not on me to prove (or disprove) your claim. I'm not the one making it. I could just point to the person's lack of evidence and be done with it. I don't need to disprove Aliens abducted you. You have to prove it to me since you are making the assertion. That's where the burden lay.
what ever
