"huh."

my thoughts on the recent death of james randi 

@zebratron2084
I thought he was already dead because I guess I mentally marked as "the end of his life" the point at which he unilaterally decided that the word "skeptic" which he had built up all his life now included climate change denial, out of pure libertarian peer pressure, and opened the door for all kinds of other science deniers to use it. So I thought "This is just an empty shell, being led around by parasites until his body stops moving." While that took longer than I expected, it's still worth saying that before then, he did a lot of good work which is not undone with him.
