Mind Reading & ESP

[drkodos]

Is it real?

Is anyone here capable of reading other people's minds through an internet connection?


My opinion (and one that is shared by US law) is that a person's intent was impossible to ascertain unless that individual actually proffered it. But, I know there are some people that claim to have the ability to read other people's minds and some of them do a good job of making it seem so.

Is it for real?


What do you think?

Is it for real?

It is for fake.

 

[Bozo Erectus]

You only need to unencrypt one mind, your own, and all the rest will be like open books. No magic necessary.

Why does intent matter to US law?

Why does intent matter to US law?

It matters quite a bit, and is often the dividing line between something being a crime, or an accident.


If you kill a person with an automobile, intent is a major factor in determining what type of charges you will face and what type of penalty may await you.

Same for many other crimes and actions.

Phlegmak, drdokos, Brighteye and Bozo Erectus are all thinking about one thing: food. You are all very hungry, are you?

Using my psychic powers, I'm 100% certain you are looking at a computer screen.

AMAZING! How did you know?

I have some spoons here that need a good straightening, can you help?


Aha! But what is the intent? Anyone can accurately predict behaviors and reactions, but the real trick is to really nail down ones' intent.

I'm 100% certain you're looking at a computer screen beause you like to be at CFC!

We had someone who claimed it here a while ago. I challenged them and got no response. Maybe the conditions weren't right, though.

Until someone can read a mind that isn't of their choosing on a subject not of their choosing, I'll disbelieve.

EDIT: Found my old challenge. I will politely warn you against using Google.

I can read your mind, but you'll have to write on it first.

 

[drkodos]

I knew you would post that.

Warpus was definitely funnier.

 

[drkodos]

Thanks for making that clear. I had some moments of deep consternation with regards to this matter. Now that it has been made lucid, I guess I can move on to my next unfunny assignment.

Is it real?

As real as astrology, tarot cards, palm reading, phrenology, etc...

 

[Bill3000]

Nope, though it would be cool if it was. Next thread!

 

[sanabas]

As real as astrology, tarot cards, palm reading, phrenology, etc...

retrophrenology makes much more sense.

 

[Gogf]

No, the burden of proof is on the party making the positive assertion.

 

[AL_DA_GREAT]

And I thought I knew how to write a good trojan. You can pick up hints by seeing what people are writing etc.

Is it real?

IMO, no. i have never seen any proof.
