I have discovered I have the ability to levitate and fly across the room. I have also discovered that I can leave my body and influence events at distant places and I can talk to the dead. These abilities would transform our perception of reality, but I have decided not to demonstrate them for anybody. You may not believe me, but that is because you are closed minded materialists - which makes you gay. I have also decided I do not want the million dollars (which doesn't really exist anyway and Randi would rig the test anyway) and I do not want to go on TV and become the most famous and richest and most admired man in the world. It would be a corruption of my gift. I realize I could use the riches I would recieve to alleviate the suffering of hundreds of thousands of people all over the world - I could save starving babies, I could help homeless people, I could build a refuge for all persecuted people all over the world, but I choose not to do those things. I just don't feel like it.

Science is bullcrap and people like Einstein and Newton and Richard Feynman are retards. I am way smarter than those guys. Evidence is for imbeciles. Randi hates me because I am so much smarter than he is. Sylvia Brown is very pretty and is a noble human being. The dead say "Hi", and that's about it. They have decided not to tell us anything important. Trees only exist when we are looking at them. There is no such thing as reality. Qualia!!! So there!!!

You just don't believe these things because you are not as developed as I am. The fact that you don't believe me is proof of this. It's just, like, beyond you. God talks to me. Just like the dead people, he doesn't have anything important to say. I am playing scrabble with Jesus on Thursday. There is no spoon.

Anyway, you left out a common word, redefined into meaninglessness - may I suggest 'harmony', 'superior', or perhaps 'intersubjective'? Also, I see no reference to quantum metaphysics, Edgar Cayce, Hume, the Qabbalist Tree of Life, or lemmings.

Further, you neglected to misinterpret the writings of a famous and respected member of academia to support your rant, and you lack the support of any third-world, diploma-mill graduate Ph.D. of questionable credentials.

Finally, your lack of spelling errors is atrocious.

Return to sender.

My post was pretty lame - I'm not feeling particularly witty today, but you get the idea. Like many people, I find it insulting the way some people come in here and make unsupportable claims and then accuse anyone who doesn't believe them of being too blind and closed minded to understand.
 
Correct grammer? Coherent thoughts? Punctuation? Correct capitalization? Correct Spelling? Easy to pick you out as a fraud.

Wrong! You want do do all of this but are being prevented from doing it by negative pseudosKeptics.

And you forgot to refer to yourself in the third person.

What I find so hard to understand is why the regular posters here let such nonsensical material get strung out through page after page after page. After a relatively short number of exchanges, it seems pretty obvious that there is no chance of actually educating such people, let alone convincing them of their delusion, so why do you all let these threads go on and on?

Well, it can be sort of amusing. When it stops being amusing the threads generally die. (I know, so what am I complaining about???)
 
If it were simply amusing, that would be fine. But frankly (and I mean no offense to anyone) it often looks to me like nothing more than an endless effort to impress each other. Sort of like an online Mensa gathering. Have your fun, but don't forget that these pointless endless threads turn some of us off.
I do enjoy some of them, and I learn from some, but I'm still mystified at how so many highly intelligent people can waste so much of their time.
 
I thought the article was powerful and thought-provoking. I was a little dismayed to learn that after all this time I'm gay, but if you're psychic and you say so it must be true, so I can be cool with that. :cool:

As much as I try to avoid stereotyping, that one is surprisingly accurate.



Oh, and Freethinker, it's 'grammar'. Sorry. :boxedin:
 
Science is for nerds.

Also, if you walk out into a snowstorm, you'll be just fine; snow is made of crystals, and crystals can't harm you. They're healing thingies!

I think it's for the humour, or they are bored, or like me, working the night shift and trying to stay awake (not that I am saying that I'm highly intelligent;) ) . A good laugh always wakes me up.

Haha, well I'm pretty sure no one here is paid to entertain you. You can always change the channel. :)

I'll paraphrase Dilbert (I think):

You'd be surprised how little practical application intelligence has!

:D
