New telepathy test, the sequel.

If the test is done with a possibly "social significance", this is beyond statistics really.
So would be of no value as a test. Ok, we won't use any social significance then, per your request.

No, I believe there is enough clarity and transparency, using the simple method.
We can certainly come up with a simple blinded method that would be clear and transparent. When do you think we could start?

It seems to me that my simple test:
I recently wrote and circled one of the five words: "Macron", "victory", "Trump", "nervous", and "fire" on my paper.

I ask you to write it here (if you think you might know it).

Thank you for participating.
is still acceptable (although I don't think I would repeat it).

Wouldn't you agree that it is difficult to be objective about one's own test? I propose we ask the other participants in this thread if your own protocol is a good one. It is, after all, these people you came to convince. I get the feeling that your protocol is seen as flawed. What is your take on others'opinions?

I would say that the quality of arguments presented (or the lack of quality) matters more than the volume of aggressivity. I have actually received some support on this forum too:
Well this is certainly one of the most robustly controlled experiments I have encountered.
Hurray.

Congratulations on once again proving telepathy.

But it's people here you're trying to convince. You will never convince them if they don't agree to your protocol. What do you propose to change to make it acceptable?

I actually suspect that some members here would like to impose a bad protocol to me, with the secret hope that it will fail, and this is not something I can accept. Fortunately, there are other forums, in various languages. Even if I cannot get participation in my tests on this forum (which is something that I actually regret), it is not extremely hard for me to obtain some participation (i.e. answers) on other forums or sites.

But won't you try to use the same admittedly flawed protocol as you've used here, not proving anything? How will that help?

The strange idea that my protocol is somehow "flawed" is essentially peculiar to this forum (you may have noticed there were many answers and no criticism on the French Yahoo, in the Parapsychology category which belongs to Science & Mathematics https://fr.answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20170513192840AARBM6p . Also, somebody followed my question). Sadly, it is quite possible that my protocol is deemed "flawed" by skeptics, just because it is good and it works. Basically it just seems to boil down to that, nothing else.

I have actually tried to run this test in the Science, Mathematics, Medicine, and Technology subforum, but the mods did not accept that, and moved the thread to the General Skepticism and The Paranormal subforum, I was not free to conduct my own research the way I felt was the more appropriate.

I wish you well on those other forums then.
 
No. We laughed at your hilarious flawed methodology, at the Skeptic Society forum. Can't you remember? :D

Well, I see that you are quoting yourself, and you are a member of this forum. In vain would I look for a single decent argument. This is the tragedy of this forum: a lot of noise, a lot of aggressivity, lots of lies, but about as much intelligence and honesty as there is water at midday in the middle of the summer in the Sahara desert.

Translation: "Waaaaah! I'm being called out on my cheating the tests and use of a flawed methodology!"

I proposed a methodology that addressed the issue of random clumping in small sample sets and subjective culling of responses, and you declined it.

Why wouldn't I? I was a member of the forum that laughed at your methodology. You denied other forums did that. You were lying.

This is the tragedy of this forum.....
You keep spamming your flawed methodology on numerous science based forums. What did you expect to happen?

I suggest to you that you are simply procrastinating the inevitable, that sometime in the future you will have to undertake a proper test[/I, find out you are not telepathic and merely delusional.

I did not say that my methodology had never been criticized on other forums. What I said was:

In the skepticforum thread you mentioned http://www.skepticforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=32&t=27469&sid=5bb78454c477d31bce95b3cab883d3ff , everything was going well, I was getting answers to the test, until you, Matthew Ellard, a member of this forum (ISF), came by, and started attacking violently my work and my methodology. So, who is causing the trouble? I can perhaps assume that, if no member of this forum had ever showed up on skepticforum, the bizarre idea that my test is somehow flawed would not have been raised by anyone.
Sadly, one of the things that seem to characterize the members of this forum is a combination of enormous self-confidence with enormous (only apparent) ignorance and enormous aggressivity and dishonesty - I wouldn't say that all is bad though. This is perhaps a legacy of the Randi time. Randi, a man who thought he was smart enough to be able to "educate people". It is perhaps time for the members of this place to realize their own limits and to adjust to reality. Otherwise, this forum might die.

No. We immediately pointed out the flaws in your methodology and introduced you to the Belgium Skeptics, near your home, who could put you through a proper test. You refused, obviously because you know you are not telepathic and preferred to procrastinate to maintain your delusional framework.

The two forums were healthy and vibrant before you posted here and on there. You presented your nonsense to skeptics and they laughed at you. You consciously choose to keep coming back. When you are gone, the forums will still be healthy and vibrant. There are many mad people who demand that skeptics review their crazy thoughts. You are just one of them.

You can prove or disprove your paranormal claim, once and for all, by contacting SKEPP. You consciously choose to not do so.

SKEPP is an independent Belgian skeptical organization. The organization’s name is a backronym for Studiekring voor de Kritische Evaluatie van Pseudowetenschap en het Paranormale ("Study Circle for the Critical Evaluation of Pseudoscience and the Paranormal").

The goals of the organization are: 1) To conduct critical research into claims that are either highly unlikely based on or contradicting current scientific knowledge. Specifically, SKEPP focuses on pseudoscientific claims as well as claims of paranormal events.

If the level of honesty and competence is about the same at SKEPP as on this forum, I am afraid my legs will never be fast enough to run away.
... I do indeed have ESP, and know for a fact that he wrote 2!
What does the quote above mean, do you think, Matthew Ellard?

It means you cherry pick, you know this already. Got any new questions?

There you go. You now have more evidence of your schizophrenia. You are making up facts to maintain your delusional framework. You don't actually know anything about SKEPP and its protocols to test your fraudulent claim of telepathy and are too frightened to contact them to actually find out.

It means a person on a forum is teasing you. Are you going to make another delusional claim and claim no person on a forum is ever sarcastic? That would be completely nuts.


It is obvious you are very aware you are not telepathic. The first obvious evidence for this is that your stories keep changing. You initially stated you heard other people's voices ("Kill yourself, Kill yourself")
https://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20110320143839AAdd8JS

...and then you got changed your mind and claimed animals and people heard your voice. However, we know you are lying. I wrote your full name on this forum and you demanded it was removed, which it was. If people all heard your thoughts we would all know your full name anyway , so it would not matter if I wrote your full name. That was the clear evidence you are lying.


You are simply procrastinating to avoid accepting that you suffer a common and curable psychiatric illness. You are simply upset because you want to be something special so you can keep trolling forums telling people you might be telepathic.
