No, they are labelled as sick because they are out of touch with reality and ARE sick. There is nothing healthy about being delusional. My neighbor gets hauled of the the looney bin once a month or so when he forgets to take his meds and becomes a danger to those around him.

If your abilities were so consistently amazing, they would be worthy of the Million Dollar Challenge. But you will not take it because... (pick one of the standard 201 excuses. You do not even need to know what they are, but you will pick one nonetheless. Note that being nonresponsive is in the top ten.

Diploid said: 1/26 is no biggee.
I had a debate here years ago with a regular who insisted he could divine what number from 1 to 10 his friend was thinking of "surprisingly often". Of course, he didn't have a written record or a statistical analysis that would show definitively if it was surprisingly often or the self-deception humans have a predilection for.
I told him to try with a range from 1 to 100 million next time and report back. He said, get this, "Why should the test be so hard? That's not fair. Whaaaahhh!"
I added that last bit, but you get the picture. The point is that he was more interested in gauging random lucky guesses than actual psi, but he was too dense to realize this even after I explained it to him. Either you CAN or you CANNOT divine the number your friend is thinking of. Which number he's thinking of is not relevant.
I wonder if questioneverything has ever predicted the phone number of a wrong-number caller before it showed up on the caller ID. You see, THAT would make me sit up and pay attention.
When I used to frequent singles bars, I would always guess the woman's astrological sign. When I missed they never held it against me -and would often give me partial credit for being close ("No, but I am a water sign..."), but when I was right, they took it as an indication of a deep personal connection.

Why not? If synchronicity subsumes telepathy, wouldn't that be a case for Occam's razor?

Just what I thought you can't find one. Not even one.
Pretty typical to bring up my post count at times like these. Yet you post here the same as I do. If posting is such a negative to you then don't post here. 
Btw way your posts sure are whiney, I didn't "demand" anything. It was a simple request that you verify your assertion.

One time someone asked me if I was thinking "What the thinker thinks, the prover proves" and I told them I was thinking that.. simply because I wanted to believe that they were telepathic.

Thanks for demonstrating your ignorance of terms here. This also shows you have not read the forum rules or have not understood them.
Like I stated no one has flamed you nor have any personal attacks been lodged against you.
It's amazing how the people that cry and complain the most about broken rules never themselves have bothered to read them or find out what they are.

Yes, most of us understand the reporting of a hit. The storytellers seem unable to grasp the general non-reporting of a miss. If you had failed the first time would you even mention it? No.

5) Long-time forum regulars will generally get a littler more discretion from the moderators than noobs. This is in recognition of their many contributions to the nature and character of this forum, and the many times they've had to deal with the noob who shows up with a new, mind-blowing concept that's actually an old rag we've deconstructed here a hundred times over the years. If you're new here, keep that in mind. Stick around and become a regular yourself!
Alright man, well we'll see you later. I'm on my way to YouTube to figure out why nikki minaj has 30,000,000 more views than anything educational. Later tater.

nikki minaj
Never heard of it. 
The shroomery is my one TV type vice. Otherwise it's Pandora and porn and blowing money on Amazon. Retirement is a bitch.

Oh my goodness, yes, very briefly. I watched her Grammy performance when I heard about him too. Have you seen that? That's something serious, my man.
