Assistance required for telepathy proof

Golfy,

Please do not be offended by what I'm about to say. I am schizoprenic.

There is a syptom called thought broadcasting. This is a belief that people can hear in their mind what they are thinking of.

Before America invaded Iraq, I had a relapse. I live here in Oz. I was shouting, thinking the whole of America can hear me, that they should not invade Iraq until they have found evidence of WMD.

The police came to my place and drag me to a mental hospital. Since I was forbidden to shout, I would try to do thought broadcasting in the hope (actually believing) that Americans can receive my thoughts.

There was a poster here not so long ago. He was thinking of the reverse, that people were trying to insert thoughts into his mind and was complaining that people were driving him insane. It was good that he listened to the advice of people here and examined the possibility that he could be suffering from schiz.

I believe that you are totally convinced that you have such ability. The question is if that is not caused by mental illness.

I did remember someone saying that but I did not remember your forum nickname.

Thanks for posting this, jmontecillo01.
 
Let's not view it as greed, but a hearty thank you from me for the help you have given me in my quest for proof that I am indeed telepathic.

Thank you. I am fully aware what would happen if the problem remains untreated. I have seen many sufferers who ended up living in the streets. I know of people who commited suicide. My illness caused me to loose everything that I had.

The majority of individuals with Schizophrenia are unaware that they have a psychotic illness. This poor insight is neurologically caused by illness, rather than simply being a coping behavior. This is comparable to the lack of awareness of neurological deficits seen in stroke. This poor insight predisposes the individual to noncompliance with treatment and has been found to be predictive of higher relapse rates, increased number of involuntary hospitalizations, poorer functioning, and a poorer course of illness.

Delusions of reference involve people having a belief or perception that irrelevant, unrelated or innocuous things in the world are referring to them directly or have special personal significance

JMontecillo, thank you for sharing your story but I don't think golfy is schizophrenic. His thoughts seem too organized.

Golfy is just a run-of-the-mill narcisist. He has chosen a delusion in order to preserve his fragile ego. He needs intensive therapy to learn the social skills he missed as a child, but he probably doesn't have an organic mental illness.

With luck, he'll eventually become so depressed about being ignored by others that he'll seek treatment. Otherwise, he'll continue the way he is for the rest of his life.

Well, since you offered the $200K for challenge participation to the first person who picked your surname, I have decided that $200K is enough for me. Your name is Rumpelstiltskin

Choosing a name from a fairy tail is hardly imaginative and honestly quite childish. If you want the $200K then you aren’t going to get it by acting like a kid.

You've never read Rumplestiltskin, have you? :D
 
It's irrelevant, you aren’t going to get the $200K by choosing a name which would obviously not be mine.

:D It really isn't irrelevant at all. You should read it. Or at least, you should read the Wikipedia page.

If the telepathy thing doesn't work out for you, might I suggest a career in stand-up? You're a funny guy.

Pardon me, but it's as relevant as you being telepathic.

You've yet to answer some pertinent questions that have been put to you. Instead, you appear to have simply ignored them. Your credibility is zero. Fairy tales actually have more value than your preposterous claim.

The only activity that is relevant in this is that the protocol that I suggested is stuck to and proof is obtained that way (or similar, I have a few others which should do the trick) or that a person does eventually admit that they can hear my thoughts and would therefore be elligible to participate in the MDC with me and would win a slice of the prize.

I am in the real world, not a pixie at the bottom of the garden.

Golfy, this thread has been moved to another subforum since it seemed obvious to the moderator team that you have no intent to apply for the JREF Prize. Plus, you do not have the qualifications to have your application accepted - and I very much doubt you will get them in time.

There seems to be no reason for you to continue this discussion at this point. Do you have any thoughts on jmontecillo01's posts?
 
I have thought of another protocol which may be more acceptable to the JREF and perhaps easier for me to get proof with so I’d like your comments on whether you think the protocol would be OK as it uses a GSR and not a polygraph and no questions are asked of the receiver.

The receiver is watching in a room a single channel on say a cable TV receiver – that channel cannot be changed by the receiver. The receiver is hooked up to a GSR to monitor his emotional state which is fed to a remote monitor in the room which I am in.

Whilst watching the GSR I go through the channels on my TV receiver one by one out of a selection of 10 which the cable receiver is tuned to – all other channels are disabled.

My monitoring his GSR and flicking through the channels slowly I should be able to detect which channel he is watching as when I start watching the same as the receiver is, his/her GSR response will rise if they can hear what I hear (they can).

It would be a good idea to only tune the TV receivers to sedate programs like natural world etc or used controlled footage so as not to stress the receiver by showing violent films or films with sexual images which may cause an erroneous GSR response!

Why don't you start with a "self-test" and report back, something like this.

You can buy a GSR online for 75 bucks that sends out a signal to an earphone. (Or perhaps you have access to a better machine.) Put two TVs in a room back to back with the sound turned off. Have a friend pick a channel and then put the remote out of reach so he can't change it. You listen for the signal through the earphone. Then you flick through the channels and write down which one he's watching. When you're done, check out the friend's channel setting, compare it to what you've written. Maybe try this a few times and let us know the results.

This won't meet the JREF requirements for control, but they always encourage applicants to make private trials to iron out any bugs.

I deliberately chose that name over and above other options, and if you were at all familiar with the story and the nature of the character, you would know why.

I haven't the first clue why a person's GSR should rise when the thoughts he's hearing in his head match the images he's watching on TV. If anything, I would expect that the person would become more relaxed since instead of hearing dissonance, he is now hearing stereo.

However, I do know why you've chosen to change your protocol: people here are getting tired of you. You can't stand being ignored. This is abnormal but it is not unfixable. Get help today.

To make this acceptable to the JREF you would have to deliver solid evidence about which exact GSR reaction would indicate what exact stimulus. Because otherwise you would submit yourself to interpretating again - and this would be unacceptable.

Simply put: The less gadgets in a test, the better. The more gadgets one uses, the more excuses arise about the gadgets malfunctioning. It has happened before.

But what if his "friend" has switched channels on him, and lies about this?
