I truly think the shroomery will do just fine without you, people like you make the shroomery a waste of time..




But if Swami left, I'd have to try and pick up the baton.. and well, he seems to do a better job than I could often.  And I'd ppprrroobably get myself banned after a few weeks..  I can get a bit er, abrasive.

Quote:

The guy made a post about something extraordinary, you had no right to come in and say what you did..





now correct me if i'm wrong, but do not extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof?

Quote:

The difficulty with anecdotes like yours is the singular fact that you only attribute your extreme anxiety to your beloved's death after the fact. Apparently at no time prior to meeting the parents did you know what the something wrong was. 




Here's an interesting story.
An aunt of mine was very old.  My father's great-aunt I believe.  96 I believe she was?  Or 98?
Irregardless, she had been in the hospital, and my parents left one night to go see her.
They came home, my sister and I were elsewhere in the house, came to the living room to see them..
and I immediately sat down and stared at the floor. 
My sister did the same.
Then my parents stood there and told us.. she had died.

Premonition?  Why did both my sister and I react to the news..  BEFORE we heard the news?

No, something much more mundane.  We simply picked up on what had happened from non-verbal cues from our parents.  We knew she was sick, we knew she was old, we knew she wasn't doing too well..  and my parents walked through the door in anything but a normal manner.
No silly 'aura' about them was perceived.  Simply the way they carried themselves, their posture and facial expression.

I've done similar things many, many times but not once have I fancied myself a psychic.  I'm actually very poor at picking up non-verbal cues from people except in cases of extreme emotional states..  then, I'm very good at it.  It's nothing special..  anyone can do it, and much easier than I can.  It's simply a matter of opening your eyes to the physical world around you.. and it annoys me when people say it's psychic powers.  As if it's magic that they alone have, and somehow inexplicable.

Rule 1:  Never attribute to the inexplicable that which has a very simple explanation.

Quote:

You just called me "pathetic" and "cheap". 




Actually chief, he called your ATTACK "pathetic" and "cheap".

A very, very different horse of an inexplicable color :wink:


Blar.  I really do get bothered by people claiming telepathy and psychic powers.
We really do have a world of powers far beyond that which we normally allocate ourselves, but they don't lie in the land of chicken guts and crystal balls and bending spoons with our minds.
Your mind's a very, very powerful tool.  Use to learn it rationally.

Here's another example.
My roommate's dating this guy.
He disappears for a week, finally shows up, breaks up with her.  Won't say where he's been.  I offer that he's probably been at his ex-girlfriend's.
Well, they get back together, and he accuses her of fucking me while he was away.  I offer that he fucked his ex girlfriend and now feels guilty about it.

I was right on both counts, incidentally, but neither was accomplished through reading another's mind or projecting myself astrally to catch the show.

Reason and instinct.  A lot of your instincts are actually just your mind reasoning out problems for you much faster and better than you consiously could, and taking into account many minute details you may have missed.  Of course, once an instinctual solution offers itself to you, you must decontruct it with reason and double-check yourself, but in my experience most often such solutions ARE correct.
A much more powerful tool than some sort of psychic trickery, and something you can actually rely upon and not be let down.

revel in its glory and quake in fear at its might
