New telepathy test, the sequel.

It's uncontroversial to say so, but since nobody is in charge it might be fairer to say it is not running well.

and that the current U.S. president has an unfortunate tendency to aggravate things

That too is uncontroversial.

If I was the president-dictator of the world (which of course I am not), I believe I could bring great improvements.

I on the other hand believe I would make a catastrophic mess of the job by failing to spot the unintended consequences of each of my president-dictator decisions. Like Mao in China, ordering the population to kill small birds to prevent them eating the crops, resulting in the crops being eaten by the insects the birds no longer predated.

Writing 6/7 to mean "six or seven"

It could mean six-sevenths. The Austin Powers documentary series proves you can have fractional clones.

The only thing this brings to my mind is that someone once told me that overconnecting things was one common symptom of an illness, but it's not a topic to pursue here.

Something similar could be said about the inability to recognize humor and sarcasm, but for our purposes here we don't have to delve into why that's the case. The argument begins and ends with the claimant relying upon something he's shown himself to be defective in. Again without speculating as to cause, it's also possible here to note the fascinating connection between narcissism and paranoia. One believes himself important enough to be hounded by nefarious forces. And blaming the nefarious forces excuses the claimant's inevitable failure to produce evidence of the awesome traits he believes he has. The claimant then inevitably maintains himself in a context that provides ongoing events that can be interpreted as persecution, to maintain the illusion that he is still important.

The answer of yours that I found good (for my August 2013 test) was this one:

This answer was incorrect, but also obviously non-credible (and there is no need for any "blinding" to see it!), and therefore it was a good (though non-ideal) answer.

But actually you did even better than this in 2013, since you posted later (after your first, non-credible answer):




Usually, when people give several different answers, I use the last answer given. In your case, this answer was 4 and was the correct one. However, I probably felt that giving the four possible answers to the test in rapid succession sounded too much like a joke, and therefore should not be considered as a serious answer.

I don't suppose it occurred to you that my (multiple) answers, especially the first one which you found "good" to your singular poll were actually mocking the stupidity of the whole thing? You thought a joke answer to a joke poll was a "good" answer! That tells me a lot about your desperation to try and find anything to support your delusion.

One problem you have is because you take and analyse every word, every phrase, and every nuance in every persons response you are incapable of understanding that sometimes people are just taking the mickey out of your pointless polls. You even tried to find something in my "one to four" answers that you could somehow turn around into support for your non existent telepathy. You only "probably" felt it sounded like a joke?

Stop trying to find gold where there is only iron pyrite, and looking for a hidden gunman behind the grassy knoll.

Prediction: You will be informed that you were telling the truth in your joke answer and are now lying, you nefarious chappie you.

No, I do not think your answer:

was just a "mocking" post (actually, I don't think there was much to mock about), it was obviously an answer to my test. If you had really wanted to "mock" me in 2013, there would have been a lot of ways of doing it without actually taking part in the test. Usually, you would not expect people to participate in tests they find ludicrous and absurd.

Carefully evaluating credibilities of answers is a central element in the dubious art of worldwide telepathy testing. You knew this from my first test, and from my previous postings, and you probably carefully designed your answer accordingly.

You used the word "your" where you should have used the word "you". I find your post very low on the credibility scale. Therefore, you have no art in assigning credibility to answers, only dishonest bias.

Thank you for pointing out this error, RoboTimbo, I have now corrected my previous post.

Needless to say, I disagree with your conclusion.

Irrelevant. He told you it was.

Irrelevant. He chose that way.

No. You are not an expert on how people in general, or certain specific people, choose to engage in mockery. Your opinion is irrelevant.

Agreed. Your blatantly dishonest, subjective, post hoc evaluation of data has no part in actual science. Hence telepathy testing, as practiced by you, is a dubious art that proves nothing.

Are you saying that you can go back and change things that you've said and we're supposed to accept the new version?

Yes, of course, I can make changes, you can accept the new version, or not. You are free to decide. In this case, however, there was no change in the substance of the post, just the removal of one letter.

No, your original mistake is still a mistake and still renders your posts without credibility. Changing it later doesn't change your credibility. Did you think it would?

You selectively quoted him to snip out all the mocking parts. His full answer was:

Since this is Friday (6 letters), and I'm watching Oliver on Television (6 letters) and it is around 1:30PM (1+3=4) the answer is obviously 1 as 1 is not a multiple of quirty.

The first number he mentions is 6. Then he mentions 6 again. Then he mentions 1, 3 and 4 (all actual numbers that you included on your test). then he chooses 1 because 1 is not a multiple of "quirty."

Is it your belief that quirty is an actual number? If not, then why would you claim this answer had credibility? If I told you that you were the most quirty quirt quirt who ever quirted all over his own quirt, would you believe I was being honest and credible? Or would you start to get the impression that I was mocking you, you big quirtbottomed quirtbot?

You carefully clip fromdownunder's post to make it seem like he gave you a number. He actually gave you four different numbers, one of which he gave you twice and wasn't even an answer to your test. He then chose a number based on a nonsense word he made up.

Just how much derision will you take in order to see an answer that fits the needs of your ego?

Nice of you to completely misquote my answer to that test to show how dishonest you are when trying to justify yourself to yourself and you somehow think that being dishonest will not get you called out. For the record, again my "answers" mocking answers (plural) to this test were:

How can you honestly think that these, taken as a group and posted within minutes of each other, and more obviously prefaced by "in the spirit of the OP" were not mocking? The meaning was obvious to most people. I thought your poll was a pile of the stuff I use to feed my roses.



You are simply incapable of judging other peoples motives and your polls were treated as a complete joke by nearly everybody here. You cannot recognise sarcasm, jokes, mocking answers, people taking the piss out of you and the general disdain that your claims have generated. And your only way forward is to call other posters liars when they truthfully responding to you.


And, again for the record, my other answer to this poll was intended to be a nonsense answer, and yet somehow you decided that it was good. I suppose I have to shout here. IT WAS INTENTIONALLY MOCKING YOUR POLL.


Since this is Friday (6 letters), and I'm watching Oliver on Television (6 letters) and it is around 1:30PM (1+3=4) the answer is obviously 1 as 1 is not a multiple of quirty.

I believe your answers to my second telepathy test (in 2013) were fairly good, your last answer:

was correct, and could even be considered excellent (when several answers are given, it seems logical that people are trying to improve and that the final answer is the one that should be used in the analysis).

Loss Leader's answer in the same test:

was good too. I assume you are now both lying and trying to deceive me. This is not unheard of. It seems that dishonesty is very common about the Michel H alleged telepathic phenomenon, though the level of violence and arrogance from people of questionable competence rarely attains what I see on this forum.
