New telepathy test, the sequel.

It's even easier to select from 1 option. Perhaps you should only offer a single word. You don't need to figure out who's lying or not, you just need to discard any answers that don't agree with the single choice offered.

I think this test would have a 100% success rate and prove your psychic powers beyond a shadow of a doubt. Go for it.

I realise that this thread is very long and has indeed been split but let me give you the clip one version.

Sarcasm really, REALLY doesn't work and only plays into Michel's delusion.

It is tempting to answer "2". However, you could have set up a trap. And you provided no MD5 hash (or other kind of hash) about your actual choice.

Kid Eager did send me a word. However, I don't think his method

is, in any way, an improvement over mine (instead of lecturing me about the so-called right way of conducting a test, I would rather see him participating in one of my tests, because he did provide a quality answer in my second test here). In his test, people are supposed to select one word out of 100 (the one I "circled four times and stared at"), but I think (based on a experience of several years in telepathy testing) it is simply very unlikely that anyone is going to do that accurately and seriously, it is too difficult (it is easier, both technically and psychologically, to select out of 4 than to select out of 100, because more information is provided to you. With such a large pool of possible responses, the test is almost a free response test.).

In addition, there is a blatant lack of security, from my point of view, because he could send the target word to a dozen of his friends. Because he knows the word, he cannot participate. And he said "I will invite responses.", that too doesn't make much sense to me. If I am supposed to circle the word four times, I am the one who should be able to say:"All right, I am done, please start posting your responses" (btw, he didn't say I had to write his word, so was I supposed to circle it using Microsoft Paint or some other image editor? Not clear.)

This seems like the argument of a person who does not believe he can send thoughts to other people's minds.

I believe I can communicate with people using my voice. I'd gladly say a word from that list and invite people to tell me what they heard, because I actually believe my claim is true.

Hell, the fact that you are posting here instead of sending out your test via your claimed telepathy shows you know you can't do as you claim.
 
I have read this from the beginning of this post, but didn't go searching for the origin so I may be off but let me see if I got this right. The OP is claiming to be able to project thoughts to people, however, no proof is offered and he refuses any reasonable tests that don't come from him and have more than 4 options.

If the possibility of thought projection was possible, wouldn't he just be able to will us all to believe him? I guess my problem here is that if such a power or talent as this existed, it would be easy to prove. Why not just prove it? The test suggested seems simple enough to me.

I have a better idea. I believe I can communicate with people using the Internet. I will take Kid Eager's challenge. Kid Eager, please PM me one of the words on your list. I will then post the word on this forum, and invite other people to tell me which word I posted. That way, we can determine whether your challenge is capable of giving a positive result, or whether, as Michel H claims, it is too difficult a challenge for anyone to meet accurately and seriously.

Everybody on for this?

Pretty much. Most of us are fairly sure (and there's been enough confession from Michel) that he is suffering from — well, I won't play doctor, so I will say only — a mental condition of some kind. He is quite earnest, as far as I can tell, and I think he cannot — I mean that literally — do otherwise.

It's tragic and sad and there seems nothing we can do.

Welcome to this thread, kali1137. The opening post of this "logical thread" is here.

Moderators of this forum unfortunately have a policy of systematically merging threads, thereby creating giant threads that nobody (except those who have been following from the beginning) has the time or the courage to read, and making it difficult to know where a discussion really starts. I have already pointed out the drawbacks of this policy, but they don't seem to be paying much attention.

The policy is in place when people keep making the same thread multiple times. In your case multiple times and failing multiple times.

You "pointing things out" lacks a little credibility when you are also the person who claims to have a ridiculous super-power that no-one else in the history of humanity has ever had, and, particularly, when every new thread you post is "Which of these 4 things am I thinking about?". If you hadn't confessed to mental health issues then your nonsense would be getting a much rougher ride.

I am actually very satisfied with the results of my latest extra-sensory perception test on this forum (here): there was one credible answer, given by cullennz, and it was correct. Cullennz (who seems to be in New Zealand) added later:
Think it's pretty simple.

I'm psychic and chose to read Michael H's mind.

Took me a while as the signal was weak

I have to admit, though, that I am less happy about many of the comments I read.

You're very happy with a test of your psychic abilities based upon a single cherry picked answer to a test that random guessing would give someone a 25% chance of getting it right?

If that constitutes a very satisfactory result, then you've set the bar so low you've buried it deep underground.

My latest thread on this forum: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?t=311990 is not of the "Which of these 4 things am I thinking about?" kind, although it is related to my telepathy testing.

And I don't think this "super-power" (the word you are using) is "ridiculous" (though there is no known historical precedent), because it doesn't seem to violate the known laws of physics: http://www.internationalskeptics.com/forums/showthread.php?postid=10277440#post10277440

It was not cherry-picked, this was explained in the analysis of the results (and also in this post (part 2)).

You do not really expect an average schizophrenic to get comments like this (just three examples):

And there is no objective reason to say these answers were "sarcastic". Some say this on this forum, probably just because they are desperately looking for pretexts to discredit, disqualify such statements.

Yes, I do. They're just the type of joke responses I'd expect to see in a thread where someone persistently claims somehow to know that people all over the world hear their thoughts.

That's a very strange use of the word "probably". It suggests you think it more probable that a phenomenon which has never ever been demonstrated to exist is experienced by multiple members of the forum rather than that they were merely poking fun at the idea.

When someone gives a response that happens to suit your delusion, you discount the possibility that they were joking even when they themselves confirm that they were in fact joking.

Your link goes to a thread of two posts neither of which is cullenz. That is credible to you?

Furthermore, when one tracks it down Cullenz was mocking you. As usual, you cannot detect that.

Grow up.
