Why are you going out of state? It makes no sense.
Did you forget the smiley or are you being serious?
Get Dr. Carlson, one other person, and a screen. You can do the test with virtually no cost and be done in a few hours. I already gave you the protocol. Are you not listening?
Like I said, out of state because my state is where I live, work, and study and a paranormal investigation is not part of my professional life and I'd like to keep them separate. I am being serious about my plans. And I have already determined that I will not have a full-body screen on the test.
You really think people will pay to see? You have no credentials, this isnt going to work.
Alright, paying will be optional.
Why should they pay for your travel costs?
Because my funds are very low right now, I am a college student without a work permit.
If someone would like to see this psychic claimant fail live, then how about contributing to making it all happen? But I've just decided that paying is entirely optional. And no one has to come and see it if they don't want to. I just thought this was interesting.
*Note: The money would only be used to cover my travel expenses, the conference room, or other expenses with arranging the test, and the remainder would be donated to a kidney foundation. By no means would I be getting paid for this. It is a non-profit paranormal investigation kind of thing. Oh, and I wouldn't even be in charge of the money. A Skeptic would, and we can all trust Skeptics.
Your claim is imprecise. You are not seeing the back of the person. As you describe it you are not seeing the person at all. You are seeing the general shape of their body through their clothing. Therefore, it is reasonable to conclude that a screen could be used.
If so, this test is a slam dunk. You could do it at the next F-A-C-T meeting.
No UncaYimmy, I already determined that my perceptions are reduced when there is a full-body screen. Let's say it
is a true ability, then we don't really know what kind of "vibrational information" I'd be detecting. What if it
is thermal information (heat patterns)? If any way possible, there will be no screen. Accept the limitations of my claimed ability and let's work from that. How about the
underground bunker?
Why does it have to be kidneys? Why can't it be tonsils?
My boyfriend has had his tonsils removed and I can't quite detect that. Kidneys are large and I feel them easily.
there's no symptoms of missing tonsils
There's no symptoms of missing kidney.
a doctor can simply look down every volunteer's throat in a jiffy and tell who has tonsils and who doesn't.
Medical documentation can prove who has had a kidney removed. If me and participating skeptics aren't allowed to review medical documentation then I will go through the expense of having a doctor review and verify their documentation.
You wouldn't need a screen because people without tonsils look exactly like people with tonsils.
I wouldn't need a screen with missing kidney because people without a kidney look exactly like people with both kidneys.
There's no need for ultrasounds or a widespread search to find people who are missing their tonsils. Tonsillectomies are really common.
Well, it's the ailment I've chosen. I'm not as good with tonsillectomies.
Of course, in being common, tonsillectomies aren't very grand, are they? Not much pizzazz in a tonsil, is there? There's a certain je ne sais quoi in a kidney, a sort of life-threatening romanticism that a plebeian tonsil couldn't hope to match, I suppose. There's no life-threatening illnesses or poignant acts of altruism involved in tonsillectomies after all.
Actually, I was thinking about it and persons who've donated a kidney were not the ones who had an illness, and although donating a kidney is still a sensitive, personal and emotional experience, it would be even less moral to involve or exploit persons on the test who have had an illness. Such as persons who've had a tonsillectomy.
(...) When you've made up your mind...
GeeMack, I've outlined my claim and the requirements for you and I am now expecting you to share your suggested test protocol. If you still won't do it then I fail to see what your problem is. I have done what you asked.
Uncle Yimmy's protocol up-thread would be viable but Anita igonores or doesn't seem to understand it. (...)
I have determined that my claim doesn't perform as well with a full-body screen. The screen can not be used. How about the
underground bunker.
As a matter of fact, your protocol, using screens, would be just as efficient on tonsils as it would be on kidneys.
As a matter of fact I am not nearly as good with tonsils or screens as I am with kidneys and no screen. We have to work based on what my claim is and how I claim to perform it. How about the
underground bunker?
