Quote:
Both hunches are hunches, although one is moronic.


Thanks for clarifying. Of course the people who are having the failed hunches feel no more moronic than telepathy and astrology believers.

Veritas said:
In the case of believing that someone is your friend, you probably WOULD have evidence. If they consistently treat you with kindness, listen to you, help you when you request assistance, and seem to enjoy spending time around you, then you have evidence which supports your belief that they are your friend.

While is is not scientific evidence, it certainly supports your subjective POV on the relational category to which this person should be assigned.


Which, I believe, is the same category that telepathy will generally fall under. Most people who have telepathic experiences have it with someone who they feel they are close to (after all, they are sharing an aspect of their mind) and thus the experience can speak for itself on a personal level. I don't feel the need to tell everyone on a message board that I am friends with someone and try to prove it to them, but I do see the importance of reminding people from time to time that it is possible to be friends with someone.

I don't see the need to deny the supernatural. The supernatural isn't all that important, it's our methodology of obtaining truth that's the main point. And if we have no direct experience with it, then we have no reason to think anything about it at all.

:rofl2: I must admit that this quote is very entertaining for me. I also admit that I have felt this way. It was when I was a teen and hadn't learned much about logical thought. I guess I was just a product of modern education.:monkeydance:


I thought public education taught us to think via the scientific method?

I don't see the need to deny the supernatural.

This to me is a truly bizarre statement. WTF does "super" natural even mean. It's like "Super"man and just as comic and unreal. It's the refuge of those who feel inadequate to handle real nature.

That's certainly the claim but as you can see from the majority of posting that goes on here they fail miserably.

I think the reason is that modern education is illogical and unbalanced and in the service of creating servants.

Its not good to believe something without evidence.


This is exactly the point that you missed, as JonathanSeagull tryed to point out to you!!!

You BELIEVE there isn't telepathy without evidence (saying it hasn't been proven yet is not evidence).
Someone who experiences telepathy BELIEVES it without evidence (only personal experience).

So as YOU yourself said - ITS NOT GOOD TO BELIEVE WITHOUT EVIDENCE.

Its just funny that you cannot see that you yourself are doing this too!

Why do you think I said - lets just leave it as unknown - it is the ONLY sensible answer.

Yeah, i didn't much like the face-in-the-books types. They are boring and not that interesting..though there are exceptions.

It means a reality beyond our immediate perception and beyond our immediate control. I think that's probably the most simplistic and basic answer to that question.

Well true, but you were seeming to imply that in school we were taught to think simply by hunches and feelings we couldn't exactly put our finger on. I don't know what school you went to, but I was never taught that.

What I meant is the educational system didn't do a good job of teaching me to think for myself or rationally. It was mostly programming to make me a good sheepie for the work force.

Why's that?

Because everything is natural and there can be nothing else. :tongue: It's like saying plastic is unnatural or synthetic drugs are unnatural. Everything is natural whether we know about it or not. A jet plane is beyond my immediate control. Does that make it supernatural?

I agree the supernatural is a meaningless term. Supernormal is more fitting, but then we'd have to go through the usual dance about what we mean by "normal".
