TAM 2013 featured a workshop and a panel discussion on the topic of "woo" (pseudoscientific ideas and superstitious thinking) that exists in the martial arts community. It's a unique topic that had not been discussed at such length at TAM before. If this is piques your interest, have a look. The panel is about 45 minutes and the workshop (which unfortunately, is not the greatest video quality) is one and a half hours.

SWIFT is named after Jonathan Swift, the author of Gulliver's Travels. In the book, Gulliver encounters among other things a floating island inhabited by spaced-out scientists and philosophers who hardly deal with reality. Swift was among the first to launch well-designed critiques against the flummery - political, philosophical, and scientific - of his time, a tradition that we hope to maintain at The James Randi Foundation.
