Update of Martin Niemoller's famous quote:

First they came for Republicans, and I did not speak out - because I wasn't Republican.
Then they came for Survivalists, and I did not speak out - because I was not a Survivalist.
Then they came for the Moderates, and I did not speak out - because I wasn't a Moderate.
Then they came for the Democrats, and I did not speak out - because I wasn't a Democrat.
Then the Woke sought me - and there was no one left to speak for me.

“Some people cannot believe that a magician can fool them in such a way that they can't figure it out. But magicians can and magicians do. Swindlers do, con men do all the time. They're not magicians, they're fakes. They are lying to us, they're deceiving us. It's OK to fool people, as long as you're doing that to teach them a lesson which will better their knowledge of how the real world works. No matter how smart or well-educated you are, you can be deceived.” – James Randi, a magician and debunker of charlatans.

He refused to answer a lot of solid evidences for paranormal things. I'm not superstitious and I don't believe in "magic" but to say the paranormal doesn't exist is stupid. The arrogance of modern people thinking they know everything is sad.
