Biodynamics

Thanks Steve. I think that what Tom is doing can only be seen as a good thing, although you can be sure someone will try and throw a wrench in it.
 
Whether it turns out to be a good thing depends a little on his methodology. I think he has to observe what Bio-D vignerons are doing in the field as well as the theory and actually look at the details of that practice over several years, I think. It's actually a fairly ambitious PhD topic in that respect.

Despite the fact that I myself am a partisan of science, reason, the enlightenment, etc., his rhetorical postures towards same make me worry a little bit that an Amazing Randi-type treatment is in the works. I don't think in this case that would be particularly helpful.
 
I'm a big fan, but I don't know if his worldview and yours are precisely aligned.

More relevantly, the biggest advocate I've ever been personally acquainted with was Yaniger. So, you know...

That depends, Steve. He's a well known magician-turned-skeptic who's made a career of debunking various forms of "paranormal" powers. He's blunt, highly opinionated and sharp as hell. Can't imagine why Yaniger likes him (insert emoticon here).
