Hi all,
I can’t keep on discussing the believe that I have forever.
My belief is that I am telepathic, other people can hear it and that it is at a conscious level. If I ask them can they hear my brain when I think, they will say “No”.
If I think a word and ask them what it is like I did before on this forum when I stated I would offer a percentage of the prize money to the person who could tell me my surname, some people came up with first names and you ask me why would they say “Donkey” when I have just thought “Brian”.
If I was to do a telepathy test by simply asking a person what I had just thought and they then said something completely different, this doesn’t mean that I am not telepathic. In my belief, they are lying, hence the need for a polygraph or GSR to get around it.
My prior post suggested that it may be subconscious to explain the need for a GSR to a sceptic who simply defines the required telepathy test to be a verbal one – no correlation, no telepathy.
That test does not include telepathy which may be subconscious which I actually mentioned before in post 12 – loss leader.
If you do a test where you simply ask the receiver “Did you hear my thoughts” and he says “No”, that proves nothing. Only when you have proved that his reply was totally devoid of dishonesty does it then become a valid answer.
If I were to participate in a test that was fallible such as the I think, the receiver answers test, it is still not accurate as it is still possible that the receiver is not telling the truth.
As sceptics cannot define telepathy as either subconscious or conscious then you can’t rule out a GSR being required in a telepathy test. As you can’t rule out that the receiver may lie on a telepathy test either (which is what I believe is happening) then for it to be as scientifically accurate as possible (why would you want it less accurate and open to deceit if that can quite easily be prevented with the addition of a GSR or polygraph) then a GSR or polygraph should be included in the experiment. We are testing for an as yet unproven phenomenon. I would use the most accurate, tightly controlled, non manipulatable test which has nothing to do with human emotion, greed, deceit etc that I can possibly construct. Nothing left to chance would be the way to get a true indication of the fact that I am telepathic.
