Telekinesis

Generally one might just add a 'y' to some abreviation of the name.
eg, Stuey (Stuart), Blacky (Blackman), Freddy (Frederick), Shwartzy (Shwartzgold), etc, etc.

The thing is, the effect of my telekinetic ability is amplified in line with the level of anger. How do I measure anger? I don't know.

I took the liberty of collecting the quotes from your posts so far. Here goes:

From post #08:

“Dogs (especially dobermanns) are particularly easy to "repel" because they have such intense anger.”

From post #14:

”The tricky part: The attacker must be intensely and genuinely be angry for this demonstration to work:”


From post #25:

“GzuzKryzt, let me reiterate, the ability can only work on living things, because emotions (anger) is involved.”

From post #77:

“The angrier the attacker, the more forceful is the repelling force, given the same amount of "effort".”
…
“But the problem is, its hard to make someone genuinely and intensely angry with you,…”
…
“Repelling without touching is the hardest because the attacker needs to be genuinely and intensely angry.”

If you don't know how your "ability" works, how do you know that anger "amplifies" it?
How did you arrive at that conclusion?
Trial and error?
Which line of events lead you to believe, pardon: know you have this "ability"?

I'm thinking about having the dog jump in the air when attacking me, so that I can conclusively crush any doubt on my telekinetic claims.

I nominate Jyera's protocol from earlier in the thread:

(3) Free fall an angry dog over head on to the challenger in a cylindrical transparent compartment. A successful attempt will see the dog suspended in mid-air without touching. Very Very cool !

Just curious though, what if somebody else managed to snatch the 1 million dollars before me? Would there still be another 1 million to fight for? I saw this very interesting thread on someone who could call UFOs and he seems sincerely confident.

Yes Mr. Randi, please liquidate all the bonds into cash, because I will soon win the prize.

Yes, I will win the prize!

No, I'm not doomed. In fact, the ones getting doomed are the skeptics. Their time is running out!

I believe you have just overplayed your hand. After making these statements, I don't see how anyone reading this thread can believe you are doing anything other than pulling our legs. Nice try. You had us going until you pushed the envelope to far into the ridiculuos.

as an aside, that new multi-quote feature is really cool.
 
So again, why must it be a Doberman? It's already been established that the "anger" factor would be questionable at best.

Why not, as I previously suggested, use a goose? That way, failure would not result in (much) harm to the claimant, and success would probably not harm the animal.

Or a jumping spider. Or a cobra.

A goose would be near perfect. Although personal experience would suggest that the claimant wear a cup...

Yes, I've been trying to find a suitable dog candidates.

Nope I'm not running away at all, at least not while the million dollar is hanging in front of my nose.

No, I don't know why anger affects this ability. I just have the ability, but I don't know how it works.

<snip>

No, I will not use lack of anger as an excuse of failure. Either I successfully do it, or not. I'm not a scum. And furthermore, I will not even mention anger in the test protocol, and I would prefer to no longer discuss it here too. I will just prove what I can do, that's it!

It appears he is still on the right track. It seems he realizes that no argument here will ever succeed in proving or disproving the ability (or any other paranormal thing) exists, that only a repeatable demonstration will bring the truth to light.

Being honest with yourself about things you really don't know is an important investigative tool. Its good to see that he accepts that he doesn't fully understand how his ability works (which is no fault of his character, afterall if he understood it fully it'd be expected he could reproduce the effect on every attempt).

The greatest success is likely to come by examining the original conditions that caused him to believe this ability existed and attempt to reproduce those conditions as closely (yet safely) as possible. It seems he still holds a strong belief in the requirement of anger in the target.

Forgive my bringing it up, thelight, I see that you are uncomfortable discussing it and I don't ask that you defend it if you don't want to. I just don't want you to get bogged down trying to solve the 'angry' problem, when there may indeed be other factors at work preventing success. What is it that you've seen that makes you believe anger is a requirement, and could the actual requirement be something different, or even in addition to anger?

Maybe you feel very confident in whatever source makes you think anger is required and you don't want to question it, and that's ok by me. I just feel it could be advantageous to do so.

Now you made me curious: Could you please write it out in proper english? (Oopsie, no offense, my good blokes. Mates? Dang, I don't know "proper" australian slang.) :)

Hmmm.. this is a little difficult to explain, but here goes ...

Australians, for reasons that are not clear to me, prefer to alter people's names. It's a perfectly common and well established practice. For instance, if your name is Barry, this will instantly be converted to Bazza. Likewise Gary becomes Gazza. David will probably end up as Davo and anyone with red hair is automatically named Blue.

So, we get to your name, or at least your forum name. Obviously this is unpronouncable by anyone born on Earth, or at least in Australia, so I simply did what any normal Australian would do and altered it to something anyone could understand, Zuzzy.

Easy really, when you think about it.

Gr8wight - I'll give thelight the benefit of the doubt. My gut tells me he is not a native english speaker. Also, I find most people who make paranormal claims (or even defend them) are not well-versed in critical thinking or the scientific method. They are, for lack of a better term, "winging it". They don't know WHY the thing works, it just WORKS. The only investigation they've done is their own experience. Also, once they've convinced themselves they have "powers" (i.e. are special), it is tough convincing them otherwise. Logic, evidence, and so on are not as strong as their cherished beliefs.

thelight - Please don't take my comments the wrong way. I'm not talking about you specifically, but other with similar (paranormal) claims. I would suggest you study your ability carefully, honestly and critically - avoiding logical fallacies. Refer to these sites:

petre, my strategy is not to bring the "anger" factor up to the test protocol. I don't want JREF or anyone to suspect me of using "lack of anger" as an excuse of failure. If I fail, then I fail (which I doubt), and I won't make any excuses for my failure, I will take it like a man.

As I mentioned before, there is nothing super human about this capability, it's just that modern science has not fully studied the human being. The West has been at the forefront of science and technology as far as anyone can remember. But any research on paranormal things has been ignored or avoided simply out of fear of being ridiculed. In the East, paranormal things are explored, but the East lack the tools and discipline to scientifically study these "paranormal" things. This is why research on "paranormal" has been left far behind.

What we say now as "paranormal" will actually become science in the future, even probably taught at elementary schools. Science has not fully explored even the human body, especially the non visible parts, such as the magnetic field, aura etc. Even at the visible biological level, science has not fully understand the causes of cancer etc.

Now things are changing. Walking on hot burning coal is no longer considered as paranormal. Science has started to understand what theta rythm is. Who knows, in the not-too-distant future, repelling people without touching would not be considered paranormal. But as long as it is considered so, I really would like to capitalize on it, if you know what I mean.

If I were a primitive man who somehow got forwarded in time to the future, I would see many people are "paranormal" when they communicate "telepathically" using mobile phones, travel at "super human speeds" using cars etc. The fact is, these are not paranormal. It's just that my scientific knowledge has not gone that far.

As for all the negative voices I read about my ability, I would just see them as noises, but it won't affect my determination. Why? Because I know what I can do, and I'll prove it. It's as simple as that.

I don't know whether or not all these negative voices are actually from the JREF team trying to discourage me from applying, but in any case I don't care. I will march on because I believe that I will succeed. And that's what champions are made of.
 
thelight is there anything that could make you stop believing in your "powers"? How many test will you need to fail before you go: maybe I was wrong and that's OK too.

The simple thing "is" that you do not answer inquiring questions.

You dodge, evade, ignore, quibble, shirk, swerve, shun, avoid, elude, sidestep. :duck:

Please do not consider me negative. Simply skeptic.

And now: APPLY!
Please.
Pretty please! :)
 
Some notes:

- First of all, the original poster refers to angry dogs in the same way that humans become angry. Dogs have no frontal cortex, and thus cannot feel anger in the same way that humans can.
- The original poster claims that cerain types of dogs are intrensically angry. This would come as a huge suprise to many dog owners and trainers.
- The original poster also seems to think that trained attack dogs attack out of anger. Again, this would come as a huge suprise to dog trainers.

"In fact, this is such a routine in my daily life."

Do you think that "theta rythm" has anything to do with walking on burning coal? :boggled:
 
I have not read the entire thread but is there any reason that angry dobermanns have to be used, rather than actual humans? For the first few trials the claimant probably could not repel the "attacker", on the grounds that the attacker was not angry enough. When this explanation was repeated to the attacker he/she would probably get very angry indeed - ensuring a fair evaluation of the claimant's abilities.
 
I'd suggest using a wasps nest hanging over his head. Beaten thoroughly with a stick - the wasps will certainly be "angry" enough. But being small, they can be easily repelled by his amazing force (or possibly insect repellant). All on video for hs future reference for when he gets out of hospital.

PS. Isn't it obvious?? It's still all a leg-pull, folks! Thelight is not in the least bit likely to apply for the challenge, and is just stringing the thread along in an attempt to be able to say later: "JREF won't take my application - they are too scared". In fact, I'm genuinely surprised some people here are still taking him seriously. The correct response is that which is becoming more obvious to the sensible people: APPLY OFFICIALLY NOW! OR BE DAMNED.
