Captain Disillusion?



I'm a huge Captain Disillusion fan. For anyone that doesn't know, he does "debunkings" of viral videos featuring something supposedly supernatural.

I don't know if I would categorize hims as the same as Randi, tbh. But if anyone hasn't had the pleasure of seeing his videos, look them up on YouTube! He is one of my favorite content creators, and probably the least well known one. He deserves to be watched by anyone with even a moderate interest in skepticism, visual effects, or science.


I would vote for yes, Captain Disillusion. See for example videos like [0]. He's great because he follows in the spirit of people like Randi while being at the same time original and appropriate to his era by focusing on dishonest visual effects and editing.

He actually did a collaboration video with Randi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QcJO8uHrc8
