i see, and agreeSkinWalker said:but I still maintain that nutters that believe themselves to have "psychic powers" are nutters and nothing more.
Please define psychedelic. My singular drug is alcohol. Hardly psychedelic! I don't know quite what you are asking.duendy said:have you ever had pychedelic experience and seen body language that way??

You must have a screwed up life. Gut feelings, for me at least, run at a lot higher than a 50% success rate. As I noted earlier, intuition is the subconscious processing of recently received data, integrated with prior experience. On that basis we should expect a much higher success rate than that due to poor chance - unless we are crap at processing data, remembering past experience, and correlating the two.(Q) said:Gut feelings are 50/50, like any guesswork. They have no symbolic meanings.
Crunchy Cat said:Let's get right to the point. Can you or anyone you know demonstrate telepathy? That 'faith' based BS is a copout... the observer doesn't have to be the experiencer to form a proof.
Ophiolite said:Nonsense. It is clear your alleged spirituality has done nothing for your imagination. Here is a scheme that would work perfectly.
The target subject enters a room with ten individuals. One of the ten individuals is the telepath. The target subject does not know which individual this is. The target subject sits in the room for an agreed time, leaves, and summarises his thoughts during that period, in writing. These are witnessed and placed in a sealed envelope.
All ten, including the telepath, who remains anonymous, leaves, and privately right down notes on a sheet which is witnessed and sealed. The telepath identifies himself as such on his sheet, the others write whatever they please.
They all leave..
Complete safety for the telepath.
Ophiolite said:By the way, if you really believe that a telepath would be murdered in the circumstances where he demonstrated his powers, you are associating with the wrong kinds of people.
Ophiolite said:The spiritual persons I know are not possessed, do not claim telepathy or any special powers, yet they are happy balanced people. They also work, they earn money, they buy material things, but they are not defined by their possessions. They understand that money is useful, but is not everything. Your have created a false dichotomy. Black and white. Good and evil. No shades of grey.
In this approach you are mistaken. Badly mistaken. Corruptly mistaken.

Who is going to care if someone murders some guy who was a telepath?
(Q) said:I'm assuming the gut feelings that candy has are based on guess work.
Happeh said:Sure.
I told you it will never happen. No one is going to put themselves in front of a gunsight.
Crunchy Cat said:Forget about the media. They can put themselves in front of me... no guns/weapons/other devices. Hell, I'll even sign an affidavit stating no harm will come to any such person.
