Split Thread Scorpion's Spiritualism

[abaddon]

I believe the police asked them to hire me so they could keep me under control.

The police have no power to do any such thing. As an employer, I would be telling the cops to foxtrot right oscar in no uncertain terms.

They were trying to give me a breakdown so I would get treatment.

Why? What possible motivation would they have for so doing? And every moron knows that such a strategy is doomed from the outset. That never works. On anyone, ever.

The manageress handed me a copy of the rules when I started and there was a section underlined in pencil about going sick, and being rehired on different terms. I believe she expected me to have a breakdown and get hospital treatment, after which they would rehire me.

NO. Having operated in the past as an ISO auditor, those turn out to be boilerplate agreements in most companies. You are not "special".

If they had not known I had schizophrenia until I sent in medical certificates they would have been negligent not to discuss it with me. Not to mention it was not something normal managers would do.

Wrong. Managers of all sorts simply shove such things under the rug because they are unaware how to handle such sensitive matters.

 

[abaddon]

She gave herself away a number of times by telling me facts I did not know until she told me.

There are actually a whole subset of people who do exactly that for a living. They are called teachers.

I have recounted those occasions recently on this thread.
I have no Idea how or why she participated in this.

Correct. You don't even know if there is a "this" in which anyone participates.

There is an Italian psychiatrist, Ferdinando Cazzamalli (a wikipedia article about him is: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ferdinando_Cazzamalli ), who claimed to have discovered high frequency electromagnetic waves emitted by the brain.

His book, "the Radiating Brain", may be downloaded here:
http://documents.theblackvault.com/documents/parapsychology/TheRadiatingBrain.pdf .

An excerpt from this book (pp. 84-85):
From this synthesis which I have given, which is the experimental result of one year's research, it stands out clearly that electromagnetic phenomena radiate from the human subject under certain psychic conditions, and that these radiations do indeed come from the brain.
This is the first time, as far as I am concerned, outside the collection of rather vague hypotheses and imprecise, indirect deductions, that such a direct statement can be made on experimental grounds.

This research seems to have been made around 1930, and has been criticized.

The emission spectrum of the brain seems to have never been measured seriously (it is known for the sun, but not for the brain; its non-thermal part would be of great interest), although (thermal) microwave radiation from the brain (at a frequency of about 1 GHz) has been measured (very) seriously, see for example:

One might ask why the scientific community has spent so little time and energy investigating electromagnetic radiation from the brain, particularly in the short wave band (not microwave band), which is known for its long distance transmissions with little power. A possible explanation, of a somewhat sinister nature, is that they want to hide or to cover up the existence of a specific worldwide telepathic phenomenon, related to a specific person.

Not only has science continued to study the "electromagnetism" of the brain it has created amazing devices that can pick up the smallest signals and use them in a practical manner.

First you would have to establish that the 'scientific community' had spent 'so little time and energy' investigating electromagnetic radiation from the brain.

You would have to establish that there wasn't a whole field of medicine specializing in the field.

I strongly suspect “sinister” is the wrong word to insert there.

 

[Myriad]

I can remember some of those occasions that stood out in my mind, forexample. I was trying to keep my mind together by doing a mantra given to me by Guru Raj Ananda, and she said what I was thinking and told other members of staff what my mantra was. But the guru had told us not to tell anyone our mantra, and I never had. So to hear her discussing it was disconcerting. But I could not be sure if I was just having paranoid hallucinations and she was not saying anything I could be sure of.
But the four facts she told me, that I recounted in my previous post were evidence to me that she was doing it.

Or, it's evidence that when you're distracted you mumble to yourself without realizing it.

In fact, quite a few of your anecdotes of telepathic experiences could be explained by that.

On one occasion I walked to the open office door and stood outside round the corner, out of sight. The girl calmly came out and shut the door in my face.
Someone in the office said to her "If you do that he will know"

To close a door "in [someone's] face" means to close it while they are standing facing the doorway on the other side of the door. How could she have done so, if you were around the corner out of sight?

Not only has science continued to study the "electromagnetism" of the brain it has created amazing devices that can pick up the smallest signals and use them in a practical manner.

I don't know which "amazing devices" you are refering to (perhaps you could explain a little more what you mean), but electroencephalography, electrocorticography and magnetoencephalography usually study the (low-)frequency range below 2500 Hz, while microwave radiation from the brain has been measured at 1 GHz or above. Radiation from the brain in the short-wave frequency range (about 10 MHz) has not been studied recently and seriously, as far as I know.

Ideally, I think that serious scientists would like to know the whole emission spectrum of the brain, but it seems that nobody cares, while enormous means are devoted to the (successful) study of gravitational radiation. Why is that? Big cover-up, perhaps?

 

[Andy_Ross]

How could you cover up short wave radio transmit ion from brains? Make everyone wear tin foil hats to block it?

Autocensor won't allow the correct word.

 

[Michel H]

It seems that you are refering here to another kind of cover-up (more concrete), Captain_Swoop. It is possible that our brains have an extraordinary sensitivity to short-wave electromagnetic waves, so that tin foil hats would not be sufficient to shield effectively.

 

[Fast Eddie B]

Just marking the point in the thread where we began discussing the relative strengths and weaknesses of tin foil hats.

Why can't I hear the local Taxi firm then?

 

[P.J. Denyer]

Why can't I hear the local Taxi firm then?

How do we know that you can't? Maybe you can but you're part of the worldwide conspiricy cover it up?

Because I know certain people have trouble recognising it, this is sarcasm and I do not genuinely believe that Captain Swoop can actually recieves taxi radio broadcasts in his head. But seven thirty from my house would be great and I need you to pick me up from the restaurant to come home at about eleven thirty.

Yes it's all downhill from here.

We don't really know the details of how telepathy works. However, radio signals usually have a definite frequency (or are in a narrow frequency band). This is unlikely to be true for electromagnetic emissions from our brains.

More correctly we have not been shown telepathy even exists, period.

Can't work on the how if there isn't even a what.

 

[Matthew Ellard]

No. The only person who believes your flawed telepathy test is you, as your method to avoid dealing with your schizophrenia.

Any other person on the planet can see the flaws in your "test".

If anything, it appears you keep spamming your flawed test, as you are trying to make telepathy even more unbelievable. You refuse to under take real tests to keep it that way.

 

[Matthew Ellard]

We don't really know the details of how telepathy works.

Write down exactly how to measure any evidence of telepathy, otherwise you may as well say :

"We don't know how Santa can deliver all those presents at Christmas"

"We don't know how the tooth fairy sneaks into children's rooms to leave coins for teeth"

"We don't know how Leprechaun's carry back home, the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow"

 

[Michel H]

...

Statements like this:

... I do indeed have ESP, and know for a fact that he wrote 2!

(calwaterbear's number was correct)

I am seeing a 4 very clearly. It's almost as though I had written it myself.

(Loss Leader's number (for a different test) was correct too)

I am hearing Michel H's thoughts. ...

... I too am hearing Michel H's thoughts...

are evidence for "my apparent telepathy" for me. They are human testimonies, and they are not violent (this is perhaps important nowadays). Doesn't it strike you that so many different people say the same thing? Scorpion (the opening poster of this thread) has his own merits, but do you see such statements about him? No, I don't think so.

1) They both said they were pulling your leg
2) Measurement means statistical significance and not you clutching at straws.

Everyone reading this thread knows that you refused to go to the Belgium Skeptic Society's telepathy test, despite living nearby.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SKEPP

Everyone here knows you complained to the moderators that people used your full name, despite your lying claim we all already knew it from telepathy.

You can't even keep you lies straight.
