2025 RationalWiki 'Oregon Plan' Fundraiser

There is no RationalWiki without you. We are a small non-profit with no staff—we are hundreds of volunteers who document pseudoscience and crankery around the world every day. We will never allow ads because we must remain independent. We cannot rely on big donors with corresponding big agendas. We are not the largest website around, but we believe we play an important role in defending truth and objectivity.

Fighting pseudoscience isn't free.
We are 100% user-supported! Help and donate $5, $10, $20 or whatever you can today with PayPal Logo.png!
Donations so far: $8765.50Goal: $10000

Revelation of the Method[edit]

  • The granddaddy theorem underlying all "You can totally see the shape of the Twin Towers in a one dollar bill!" bullshit conspiracy crap.

Rewrite of PNAC[edit]

OSD09-H03[edit]

  • Super-creepy project by the DOD to create virtual parents in order to fool kids
  • Main idea is that it frees up parents from having to talk to their kids when they're too busy killing terrorists
  • While unethical, it's also stupidly overambitious. Even a kiddie Turing test would be pretty damn hard to beat.
  • Link

Black Eyed Kids[edit]

  • Paranormal boogeymen that take the form of, what else?, kids with completely black eyes
  • Spooky mind-clouding powers plus vampire-like insistence on needing permission to enter
  • Created by Brian Bethel in 1998
  • Well-written and creepy story - also blatantly false in the "Guys, this totally just happened to me!" sense
