The latest in supernatural quackery: "spirit science"

http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=spirit science&sm=3

I guess just tossing the word "quantum" around isn't enough anymore for the discerning new-agey snake oil consumer. I'll be honest that I haven't paid much attention to this one yet, but I keep seeing more and more of it in my YouTube feed. Yeesh.

By the way, I can't help but notice that these spirit science people have copied the format from Extra Credits almost verbatim.

Aw, no interest? Come on, it has Space Jews. Space Jews makes everything funnier.

Oh, and here's what RationalWiki has on Spirit Science:

I'm interested, but I can't watch youtubes. So I'm not sure what's included. So I have to read your OP and close it, unrequited, unable to tell what's going on.

But are the Space Jews Mel Brooks'? Not interested if they' re not Mel Brooks.

Sorry. These are non-Brooks space Jews.

Sorry. These are non-Brooks space Jews.

Probably not nearly as funny as they could have been, then.

Oh, yeah! Spirit Science Video 12, the human history.
"We found some ancient cities. In one of them we found some tablets..." Wait, why say 'in one of them?' Makes it hard to find corroboration. 'cause, like, if i wanna know about King Tut's Tomb, i can find the date, year, location, the name of the guy that found it...

This is too like those Christain stories of a nameless philosophy instructor at an unnamed university who made a mistake and a nameless Marine capitalized on it...so there!

If there are space Jews does that mean there are space latkes? As a Jew, I must know this.

 

[Clivedurdle]

As I remember this book discusses latkes, ontology and atheism...

Space latkes - do we have a new superfood for super heroes? A new Marvel genre?

Is this guy secretly connected to Ramtha?

Anyway the time compression he does to the audio is annoying.

Strange as hell.

Ok, you have to watch episode 12 and go to timestamp 13:20 and most importantly at 14:30

This is totally impossible for the sun to rise in completely differently than the previous day. For the shift to happen in one day?

Seems he is saying that the physical poles not just magnetic pole are shifting. Yep, just throw conservation of angular momentum out the window.

Anyway, the people who watch this seriously are not going to be stopped by that.

Space matzah ball soup! Space cholent!

So long as there's no space gefilte fish, I'm down with it.

Jews in Space

But there WILL be Jews in Space. See for yourself

Thanks Mel.

The mere existence of the phrase "space latke" implies that there is something that can be improved in regular latkes. I like absurdities and all, but even I have my limits.
