    Narrated by Michael Shermer, this video goes through ten points of detection you can use to help you decide on whether something is most definitely true, might be true, might be false, or almost definitely false.


    I find myself actually disagreeing with the notion that there is no validity behind psychics. I just think they haven't gotten their hands on anything real and solid to examine. I think, psychic ability is something we are currently evolving. Ever think about calling someone and your phone rings and its them...? Well, that's a discussion for another day.

    From the video description, the ten questions of the kit:
    The 10 Questions:
    1. How reliable is the source of the claim?
    2.Does the source make similar claims?
    3. Have the claims been verified by somebody else?
    4. Does this fit with the way the world works?
    5. Has anyone tried to disprove the claim?
    6. Where does the preponderance of evidence point?
    7. Is the claimant playing by the rules of science?
    8. Is the claimant providing positive evidence?
    9. Does the new theory account for as many phenomena as the old theory?
    10. Are personal beliefs driving the claim?
