I can see the future. A future where no one believes a thing Xiaou2 says, ever again. ::) I'm glad your family and teachers humor you, but, well, I'll just stop there. 6 in a row is nothing ground shaking, well within the realm of coincidence. I can win at rock paper scissors almost every time, doesn't make me a psychic, hehe. |

--- Quote from: Xiaou2 on May 25, 2009, 02:23:10 pm ---Found on the Web: --------- Another interesting quote is about CSICOP, which is the organization which Randi headed sometime during his carreer: Fate Magazine said in its September 1983 issue, “They call themselves the Committee for the Scientific Investigation of Claims of the Paranormal. In fact, they are a group of would-be de-bunkers who bungled their major investigation, falsified the results, covered up their errors and gave the boot to a colleague (Dennis Rawlins) who threatened to tell the truth.” --------- --- End quote --- I'm not one to use internet shorthand, but L-O-L. Your sole evidence that Randi cheats is from an article posted on a biased parapsychology blog that contains a snippet from an article printed in 1983 of nothing but baseless accusations!! --- Quote ---Pretty fun stuff. Randi himself is a Trickster. --- End quote --- He's actually an accomplished stage magician. And who better to catch trickery? --- Quote ---A liar and cheat. --- End quote --- Of course you supply no evidence of this. --- Quote ---He has No interest in proof of anything. He merely makes his career out of sensationalism and busting other tricksters. --- End quote --- He exposes frauds like Geller, Poppoff, and Brown who take advantage of people. --- Quote ---Its highly doubtful he even has 1million dollars... and in fact, his rules state that he does not have to prove that he does. --- End quote --- Now who's the liar, Xiaou? Where in the rules does it state that? Is it before or after this part: --- Quote ---Anyone can verify that the money exists by requesting the information in writing from the JREF. They will in turn forward you the most recent account statement from Goldman Sachs. --- End quote --- Care to put your money where your mouth is and verify that the money exists, Xiaou? Of course you won't. --- Quote ---In most cases, he can have a submitted application denied simply because he said so... with no reason given. --- End quote --- Still making stuff up as you go? --- Quote ---The whole thing is a sham... and it does nothing to further the study and understanding of true paranormal events. --- End quote --- Once again, begging the question. First prove that paranormal events exist, and then we can worry about studying and understanding them. --- Quote from: Xiaou2 on May 25, 2009, 03:26:07 pm --- At Psychic class, we were to make a deck of cards. Each card had: [snip] --- End quote --- Hilarious!! So if you get the color right, OR the shape right, OR match the color of the previous card, OR match the shape of the previous card, OR match the color of the following card, OR match the shape of the following card, THEN you get points?!! By these rules you'd have a better than 50% chance of getting points during each flip? I assure you that over time, your results would not be any better than random distribution. |

I'm curious how a computer would do choosing randomly... Xiau2, got a list of the shape/color combinations and point values? I'd love to plug them into a program and see what kind of results come out, just out of curiosity. |
