I'm much less happy about the use of this as an argument. It is often associated with outright sceptics who would deny any and all evidence of survival. To me that makes it rather tainted and awkward to deploy.

I don't object to people soliciting donations to fund research into survival. I object to them soliciting donations on the basis of misleading claims. I think in this case "misleading" is an extreme understatement.

I would think if they are that close to having an actual product, then producing copious amount of video showing working prototypes should not be an issue. I'm with Chris on this--looks like they are preying on the bereaved here. Pretty odd.

Seriously, though - I appreciate that some here may believe this kind of thing is possible in principle (or even that it may already be happening in some other metaphysical realm), but I don't think these people are being honest when they say they expect to have, within two years, a "spirit keyboard" by which dead people will be able to send written messages to the living. They are actually getting money from the bereaved. I don't think it's right.

What evidence do you have for your claim in the second-from-last sentence? 

My own take is that there are at least some genuine individuals who may, or may not, be unduly optimistic with their assessments of progress.  If they're foolish enough to say when they expect success then they will deserve all the opprobrium they're likely to receive if they fail.

Did I miss a posting somewhere showing evidence of what's suggested in the next-to-last sentence?  

That they are preying on the bereaved?

What have you learned from the disincarnate?

That to get the greatest detail on their existences, listen to ET.

Your opinion, of course, but in my experience, especially with Craig Hogan, you couldn't be further from the truth.

   Heard it all before....

Where?

I don't see his name on their website.
