What do you think about this "proof" of telepathy?

Please copy and paste one of these two modified URLs:
h ttp://users.telenet.be/mhanck/analysis_jref.pdf (pdf file),
or: h ttp://users.telenet.be/mhanck/analysis_jref.html (html file),
onto the address bar of a new browser tab (or your current tab), and remove the space at the beginning (between the "h" and the "t").

What do you think about this "proof" ? Does it seem convincing, weak, or just ridiculous to you?

NOTE: I think that I am "telepathically special" (see, for example, this question:
h ttp://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AjX0.MUvYXwD6IJcmY75lLjty6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20090601113445AAmVwcl , please remove the space between "h" and "t" again, and also between "id" and "=2" in the long URL ), and I have been trying to prove it by asking questions and doing tests on Yahoo! Answers.
 
Okay..so..do this in real time, video it, and post it.

Just think of the first scene in Ghostbusters. "I'm holding up a card with a shape on it, what's the shape?"

Or, have someone sit on the other side of the room, you facing the wall on this side of the room and have that person write the numbers from 1 to 10 and circle one of them and really really think about that number....and then you guess the number...


Then again, you could just plan it in advance, or edit it, or whatever...

Nevermind.
 
What? There is no proof.

People were asked to guess which number out of 5 you'd written down. One person guessed correctly out of 7 or 8 responses.
 
i think you will need to show much more rigorous proof in order for me to take it seriously

Yes it is ridiculous... and no it doesn't mean you are telepathic because you thought some people would think it was ridiculous.

Also it is not "proof", it is evidence... sadly in this case all it is evidence of is that your testing hasn't really been to any sort of standard that could be used to support a hypothesis of 'telepahy existing'.

But here's the good news... there are plenty of people here with lots of experience and patience who will help you to devise a viable honest test and if you really are telepathic, the JREF will give you one miiiiiilion dollars.

Then what are waiting for? :)

And welcome to the forum.
 
While using your powers, do you touch your head with one hand and with the other hand, point it at your target? I think this helps.

I read somewhere an account of an ESP demonstration done with visitors to the Cayce House. Results of testing a group of people fell, as we'd expect, into a bell shaped curve. The believers, though, claimed that those on both sides of the central bulge (those, for example, with 7 or more of 10 either right or wrong) had either negative or positive ESP powers!

:bwall
 
woah. what happened to the usual first question ?

"ever been prescribed Ritalin ?"
;)

Here's the links for you.

Thank you for the two links, Macgyver1968. Apparently, the JREF computer cannot transform the third URL into an active, clickable link, even if you've posted more than 15 times. However, I want to emphasize that the URL I have provided in my first post does work, if the two blank spaces in the long modified URL are removed.
A shortened URL for the third URL of my initial post is: h ttp://goo.gl/otNxo (please remove space between "h" and "t" at the beginning).
 
I looked at the first PDF and I don't see any kind of proof or even documentation of an experiment.
 
I don't see any proof there, or even much in the way of evidence. Yahoo Answers isn't a controlled setting by any means; for all anyone knows the people who guess your number right or nearly right could be your confederates.

I am not sure what your supposed telepathic ability is, do you claim to read people's minds or transmit thoughts to them?

Have you tested this in a controlled setting?

Are you, or have you recently been, under the care of a psychiatrist? I ask this because believing people can hear your thoughts, or that you can hear other people's thoughts, is a common feature of some psychiatric illnesses.
 
I for one applaud the OP for the seemingly good-faith testing and analysis he's done to this point. Do you now have a hypothesis better nailed down? If you carry out several more studies, and in each one the direct, quality answers are correct whereas the questionable ones are not...there will still be a long ways to go before we can start talking "proof", but you will at least have my interest.

They were not, Agatha. And it would have been very difficult to cheat, with all 8 people who participated in my latest test on Yahoo Answers being "my confederates", because anyone could participate and answer while the question was open. You may examine the profiles, questions and answers of these people and verify they are normal members and not a 54 years old Belgian under a fake identity.

I claim I involuntarily send my thoughts into people's minds (sorry if that annoys you). I also often hear hostile "voices" in my head, but I assume these voices have a telepathic origin, and come from real people, distinct from me.
