Nick Pell explains on Skeptical Sunday! Welcome to Skeptical Sunday, a special edition of  The Jordan Harbinger Show  where  Jordan and a guest break down a topic that you may have never thought about, open things up, and debunk common misconceptions. This time around, we’re joined by writer and researcher  Nick Pell !

Early ESP research by J.B. Rhine at Duke produced seemingly positive results, but none of his studies were ever reliably replicated — including a Princeton trial of over 25,000 attempts with 132 subjects that found zero evidence of extrasensory perception. Project Stargate wasn't a fringe side project — it was a sprawling effort across multiple military and intelligence programs that ran from the Cold War era all the way until 1995 , partly spurred by reports that the Soviets were spending $125 million annually on similar research. A fter Stargate shut down, many of its former participants went commercial — selling remote viewing courses ranging from $79 to nearly $3,000 — proving that even debunked pseudoscience can become a profitable cottage industry. The biggest takeaway here is a genuinely useful life skill: knowing even the most basic scientific principles — like demanding replication and questioning methodology — can help you cut through junk scien…","meta_description":"The US spent millions trying to create psychic spies, but this remote viewing pseudoscience never came into focus.
