VFF to Appear on Rational Alchemy

[VisionFromFeeling]

My method of "interviewing" involves you actually doing some homework first. My pearls don't cost money ... but they aren't free either.

Try starting with this thread and telling me your detailed synopsis of it, and then we can go from there. Otherwise, there is no point in pursuing the idea any farther at all.

Are you asking me to read the entire thread? Allow a few days, I'll get right to it.

I think you need to make some effort considering the amount of attention you seek on several threads in this forum.

All anyone is asking you to do is stop putting the burden of proof on everyone else. It is YOUR claim, you provide the proof. YOU are responsible for the costs involved in any testing, that includes compensating people to design and execute a controlled and objective test.

IIG gave you a freebie, and you **** all upon their generousity.

As it is, you are not interesting.

Then why all the attention for her (not just from you)?

Here we go again...

Because she is good for endless hours of entertainment. Like a paddleball, or a pogo stick, she just keeps bouncing back.

Anita, patronize me publicly and you get nothing from me beyond what I've written. Respond respectfully and I will respond respectfully to you as a person every time. No mocking of you or antagonizing you. Otherwise, that's it

Come on, mock and antagonize her, you know you want to.. All the cool kids are doing it. You don't want to be a LOSER, do you?

LOL

There was always that group of cool kids, then that group of losers, and then the group of "WTF?" peeps. I had the luxury of going in and out of all the groups because I was the kid who had a knife in my back pocket

Plus, I couldn't stand Frodo in LOTR LOL

well it's kind of sad. Right now if her goal is attention she is getting a lot of it.

If her goal is to prove her "power" or explore it, this isn't the right place.

If her goal is to become a skeptic, well, that would mean coming to terms with her power not being a power. Just self delusion and a strong "fantasy" personality (Fantasy personality types simply are better at imagination and function quite well in the world despite their beliefs that are perhaps not well thought out). If she can reach beyond that, and learn critical thinking skills that will serve her well through out her life - then hanging with skeptics is a good plan. But, she has to be willing to learn and face some hard facts. Maybe she needs to be more open to being convinced, then trying to convince others. Opening herself up to the truth, and knowing that ones self is never the best source of truth, as self delusion is something we all do....well then her life will be better and she will be able to really use that intelligence and stand tall with the skeptics. Susan Blackmore is a former "woo" that is now highly respected in the skeptic world. She really was a believer, but she wanted to PROVE it. When she couldn't, she accepted that it wasn't real. Her book about her journey is a must read for all skeptics and people open to becoming skeptics.

Anita has a chance to move beyond being something that is tested and toyed with. If she is open minded as Susan Blackmore, she can find friendship and fellowship with skeptics. If she is just messing around... and in it for the short time attention, then her life will not reach it's full potential and she will wander through life without every really getting to know her true self. Honestly and being honest with ones self, is a wonderful way to go through life. Skeptics are overall are more successful, better educated and happy in their work than non skeptics. Heck Penn Jillette told us that at TAM, and it's true. SHe can join or be in a few years "hey you remeber that Anita person? Yeah...you won't believe what she's doing now, it's kinda sad she's still hanging onto that vague woo".
