Telepathy

Loss Leader said:
I'm pretty disappointed with you, KotA. By backing out of a test of psychic powers, you tacitly admitted that you would not help in developing reliable evidence that such things exist. And yet you seem to be feasting on a cake you also possess. There is no reason to hold ourselves open to the wonderful and/or terrible possibilities of ESP because there is no evidence they are real. It would be cool if we could perfect transwarp beaming, or hang out with Buffiy, the Vampire Slayer. Bu however nifty that would be, it still doesn't count as evidence.*



*Obviously, transporter technology exists but it's just ridiculous to think it could be done while at warp.

Meh...

I think you're goading...

We are talking about consciousness and thought. Where it begins, what it's limits are, and how we might transmit them. Ever thought about someone, and then they call, or text? I think that's like a "vibration" you send out, and some people 'tuned-in to that frequency' can respond.

IF telepathy is an actual ability, then there's a scale, and we are all on it somewhere.

In so much I consider my place thereon, private, and none of your business.

How many coincidences does it take to trigger scientific intrigue?

The normal standard, roughly stated, is enough to make the probability of their occurring by random chance less than 5%. That requires some actual analysis of the statistics, rather than picking a few random coincidences and viewing them out of context - context including, in this instance, the number of times in your life that you think of someone and then they don't call or text you.

Oh, I can play this, too!

- IF transporter technology is real, then at any given point somebody exists entirely in the pattern buffer.

- IF vampires are real, then there's a scale of how likely someone is to be bitten, and we are all on it somewhere.

- IF the Yankees made it to the Super Bowl, then there's a scale of how likely one is to get a seat at center ice, and we are all on it somewhere.

Your statement is complete and utter nonsense. Until there is evidence that something exists, there's no reason to believe that it works on a scale. You're trying to define the characteristics of something that isn't real. How do you know telepathy would work on a scale. Do light switches work on a scale? They're either on or off. There's no middle. And light switches, unlike telepathy, can be demonstrated to exist.

You have offered no evidence of telepathy, either your own or anyone else's. Don't pretend that made up attributes somehow excuse you from demonstrating your made up thing.

Possibly, but probably not

Vampires are real, they just aren't all sparkley.

Yes, imagine the furtherest wing of a bell curve, so far away that the median hump is but a blip on the horizon. That's the probability of that happening.

There IS evidence, just done that's been proven here.
 
One time when I was a child my mother picked up the phone to call her sister, AND she had picked up the phone JUST before it started ringing and her sister was already on the line calling her! ...

What does that mean??? .. we'll examining more facts it's revealed, that at that time they typically called one-another every Sunday morning.

So it means nothing, except funny coincidence.

Sorry, but if you want to claim that something unknown is real, you're going to have to provide evidence. That's your burden. "It's real but I don't have time to tell you why," is lazy, insulting and illogical. Unless and until you provide falsifiable, controlled, repeatable evidence, you are lying.

If you don't consume enough garlic and onion, the bloodsuckers WIL get you (*ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, and the like).

People 'practice' vampirism often because they lack iron in their blood, so they ate a lot of raw meat or drank blood (*Blood sausage yum!). This condition causes bad teeth, a pail complexion, and a tendency to avoid the sun.

Oh, stop posting nonsense. Perhaps you think it's funny to equivocate on the word "vampire," but nobody is taking it that way. It's coming off as narcissistic and juvenile. Perhaps you could engage in a conversation instead of playing a grade-school game of gotcha.
