Fair Critique, but lets train the same skeptical eye upon how Skeptic and
Skeptical Enquirer might view Extropianism and TransHumanism. It should give

checking the claims of "prophets" and "psychics" and publicizing the
results
would be a hugely expensive and difficult undertaking. Worse, sensible
people know that there isn't any good that comes from such an endeavor other
than the frustrating one of trying to stem the tide of irrationality in the
world. >>
