FR, after read thru

I believe in entanglement . .. & that opens up all kinds of interesting ideas in combination with the biocomputer chips that are our common genetic heritage . . . . . .

While I was a statistics student our math department hosted a colloquium with Dr Jessica Utts presenting her meta-analysis of the distance-viewing experiments. I found it quite persuasive, but I have a certain erratic sensitivity . . . . Her conclusion:

"...Utts' report saying "a small to medium psychic functioning was being exhibited" and that "future research should focus understanding how this phenomena works, and how to make it as useful as possible...."

& this is consistent with my experience of being able to, for instance, get people to turn around & look at me in some kind of auditorium setting, simply by looking at the backs of their heads / necks. & my success rate goes up if I specifically think about pricking them with pins or pinching or that kinda thing . . . . . I've been idly mucking about with that relatively simply demonstrable psionic stuff since I was a kid. (I've long had a serious fascination with psychic stuff.)

One of Dr. Utts observation of the data sets she included in her meta-analysis was that people's ability to accurately detect whether their distance viewing was correct or not was nil, that is, there was no reliable connection between thinking that an observation was correct & whether it was correct . . . . . . & also that this is a subtle power being observed in its various manifestations . . . . .

Did some digging with Dr. Utts wiki....

yay!!! Thanks kia.

quote:

Anecdotal reports of psychic functioning suffer from a similar problem in terms of their usefulness as proof. They have the additional difficulty that the "response" isn't even well-defined in advance, unlike in applied remote viewing where the viewer provides a fixed set of information on request. For instance, if a few people each night happen to dream of plane crashes, then some will obviously do so on the night before a major plane crash. Those individuals may interpret the coincidental timing as meaningful. This is undoubtedly the reason many people think the reality of psychic functioning is a matter of belief rather than science, since they are more familiar with the provocative anecdotes than with the laboratory evidence.

This stood out.

I am going to have to start writing my dreams down again. I gotta get those numbers.
