Nuclear war and going back of Hitler

If Putin is not stopped, he could trigger World War III, culminating in a nuclear conflict.

What pisses me off the most about your theories is how useless they are.

To be blunt: You're obviously no good at any of these paranormal techniques you believe in. You obviously aren't benefiting in any practical way from elevating your IQ.

Not only are you no good at any of this, but neither is anyone else. Literally no one in the world knows enough about what you're saying, to do anything useful with it. It's obvious that Zelensky is going after Putin through other means, because he has no idea how to make yours actually work. Nobody knows how to make your ideas useful. Not even you know how to make your ideas useful.

What's the point of having these ideas, if you can't do anything with them, if nobody can do anything with them?

That's what pisses me off. You talk like you know special knowledge, but the reality is you can't do anything with what you claim you know.
 
Man, bunch of cynics around here. The OP says he's a brilliant guy who knows more than all of us. He even cites some nitwit table and everything. Surely that passes muster on a skeptics forum?

I agree. We've been saying as much for his entire sojourn here. His "theories" look at no data, make no testable predictions, cite to practically no outside source, and aren't being quoted by anyone. I think it's clear that he wants to be thought of as a scientist, but he really has no idea what science is or what scientists actually do. It just makes the claims to superhuman I.Q. all the more amusing.

Or just demonstrate them.

Yes, if this were just plain science your approach would be the more correct one. In science, first you have to show that there is an effect. Then you can begin testing possible causes for it in the hopes of developing a predictive theory. Correlation does not imply causation, but a lack of correlation absolutely implies a lack of causation.

But here the OP is exhorting us to try to take down Putin with some sort of mental method. If you want someone to do something, you have to explain to them in sufficient detail what you want done. If that outcome requires methods that they don't know, you have the onus to instruct them in the method or find someone who already knows.

If I go to my employees and say, "I need you all to levitate for five minutes," the existence of the request implies that I believe the directed action to be possible and therefore that some method exists to accomplish it. It's quite within their rights to ask, "Um, how do you want us to do that?" My job as an employer is to set clear expectations and, where necessary, lay out the procedures to follow. All we're asking from the OP is an appropriate level of clarity.

Look, all I'm saying is 'Has anyone seen Wise42 and Spiritual Hitler in the same room together?' No? Kind of suspicious don't you think?

In fact, it's cargo cult science in its purest form. He looks at what scientists do from a viewpoint of total lack of understanding, sees that they're respected for doing it, and wants a part of it, but he has no idea of the process involved. So all he has to go on is the appearance of the output, which to him is a set of counterintuitive pronouncements, rather than the predictions of a thoroughly worked-through theoretical framework. From this he assumes that, by making his own counterintuitive pronouncements, he'll garner the same level of respect. What's interesting, and a little unusual, about him is that he has absolutely no strategy for dealing with not receiving that respect - most cranks at least manage angry attacks on those who dismiss their pseudo-theories - so all he can do is repeat and expand on them, as if people were taking him seriously. It's a very strange phenomenon to observe in action.
