There are a whole bunch of them. The man is famous and rich from them. His name is Simon Green and the books are called the DeathStalker series.
Ah, fiction.
The rumours themselves may not be worthwhile. But they lead you in the right direction.
They
can lead you in the right direction. They can also send you into the forrest.
Police use rumors all the time to solve cases. Maybe the rumors are false, but they lead the police in the right direction.
I'm not familiar with methods employed by the police, but I'm sure that once a rumor leads to a dead end, they abandon it and move on. That's what I'm about to do, too.
What you are asking me to do is tell you where you could find people that you, skinwalker, light and the rest could go and harrass. Why would I tell you the names or groups of people so you can go harrass them?
Your assumption that I would want to harrass them is invalid. I have no intention to bother any one, but I do want to give people their chance to proof themselves.
The people that could prove it to you would never speak to someone like you.
How close minded of them.
You are too coarse and demanding.
Coarse? I've done my best to remain polite. My excuses if it was perceived otherwise.
I'm not. Why should I be mad at you? I think you are misguided and in dire need of a proper education. If anything, I pity you.
You are a pestering dog that won't stop sniffing their leg.
Nice mental imagery. Is your book full of that too? I still do not have its ISBN, so I wouldn't know.
What you and the others refuse to accept is that these are people, not chemicals in an experiment. These people have feelings. They don't want to be berated and hounded by doubters and haters.
They won't. If they are truly telepaths, they'll be delivering the evidence we seek and ultimately increase our understanding of the human brain.
Over in another thread, Snakelord made me literally physically sick with his hate and demands. That is what happens to these kinds of people when they are the subject of hate or ridicule or derision or whatever.
I can't speak for all scientists, obviously, but it is my experience that the run of the mill scientist is not out to ridicule. He or she is out to model reality as accurate as possible.
Telepathy is subjective. You experience it or you do not. You cannot see it from the outside.
That's too bad, because if that's true, it will never leave the pseudoscience section.
Any kind of test would always leave you in doubt you had been tricked.
Among other things, that's why tests should be repeatable. If someone is in doubt of the result or thinks the test was done improperly, they can do it again.
Stop attacking people that bring up the subject.
I'm not attacking. I'm asking questions and I give my opinion about the answers, if given.
Walk around thinking about telepathy all the time.
You want to get me killed? I prefer to concentrate on traffic when I navigate through my home city.
Instead of immediately rejecting the subjectof telepathy, do whatever you can to hold your mind open.
The problem with this credo is that, if applied consistently, it is not restricted to telepathy alone. If I hold all, which seems far fetched and is unsubstantiated, under consideration, there is nothing preventing me from believing the most ridiculous notions. If I, without good cause, should consider telepathy as a distinct possibility, why not consider dragons to be a distinct possibility? Or why I should I not entertain the notion that the world is flying through space carried by four elephants standing on the shell of a giant turtle? And since with that last statement we are now firmly within the realm of Terry Pratchett's Discworld, why not believe in the Unseen University too?
