Well you should point out that in the New Zealand test it is also very odd that they got ZERO right. It should have been around 1/9 right (5 out of 45) because it was random. By the same binomial test you used to judge the 23/45, there is only a 1.6% chance of that result happening by accident. So it was likely the NZ test was also biased the other way, to get them wrong too often.

[@immaterialspectator4209]

It's also possible that the would-be-psychics gave fanciful and improbable descriptions that made it harder to guess correctly than pure chance.

I always found it delicious that back in the 90s(?) a NIKE commercial of all things proved telekinesis did not exist. And telekinesis is a BIG player in the psychic world. The commercial shows a football flipping end over end in slow motion having been kicked for a field goal. Interspersed is slow motion clips of fans in the stands slowly standing, cheering and generally bug-eyed as they watch the attempt. The football falls just short of clearing the goal post. The voice over tag and or text on screen states: "60,000 fans can not direct the ball over the bar - that's why we play every weekend." Or something to that effect. If 60,000 collectively can't do it - case closed on an individual.

As the human physique 'evolved' and developed it became possible to break the record. Could there be a 'freak' that actually has mental powers that would make certain pyschic powers possible? Always a possibility - but with the intense study of this field over the last 100 years or so - AND the absolute debunking of each and every claim it is highly unlikely. In fact - it is the debunking of each and every claim of such powers that pretty much proves such mental powers are only 'man made' scams and always have been.

@@somenameidk5278 A man demonstrated remote viewing to me 9 years ago. Told me over an IRC to write down 5 numbers at random. In order to throw him off I actually wrote down six numbers and each one was between 2 and 3 digits long. Well he just called me an idiot over the IRC and told me all 6 numbers, in the correct order, no mistake. Despite him proving himself I told him it wasn't real and he's full of shit and to teach me how it's done. So he pointed me to some resources to study and I began studying it intensely. A few years later I had enough knowledge to begin my own experiments with other people who I'd been corresponding with, I had even created a whole site for discussion and gathering of this information, and one current iteration of the site right now has 140,979 posts as of this moment (if we included all the lost posts from previous versions of the site the number is even bigger). Anyways so I then tried experimenting with various remote viewing techniques including coordinate remote viewing. Sometimes I did this over a site called tinychat which no longer exists as far as I know. I would be given coordinates and know absolutely fuck all about what I am to view, with nothing to cue me, just the coordinates. I would then go into a trance for about an hour, see various impressions, and give feedback on what I saw. One time I saw monks walking out in the streets in those brown robes and I thought for sure I fucked up and didn't see things right but I reported it anyways; turned out it was a monastic holiday in the isle of man (or whatever that one island off of the UK is), there really was a church in the exact position I described, and the monks really were out on that day. The man I was doing this with was absolutely amazed I gave him an accurate report about this. I've done another remote viewing technique with someone in the UK who always identified themselves as a man online and had a persona; although I did not know this. I made an effort to connect with them and to see into their room. I saw a red haired woman, I saw her dog and described the dog's color and coat in detail, I describe how the walls looked, I described what kind of trees were outside her window, and I thought I definitely fucked up this time there's no way this is right and rather despondently told her what I saw. She was incredibly shocked and revealed to me that she was in actual fact a woman, that I did see all that correctly, and she became scared of me and basically thought I was in league with the devil or something and became hostile to me ever since then so a rather sad ending to this story but the reaction was real, her feedback real, the results were amazing. Nowadays I'm focused on learning telekinesis and have stopped messing around much with remote viewing, I believe telekinesis is even more profound and interesting than remote viewing, and hope to master that skill.

I have never been able to control what my brain decides is important. It just does. ... I meam, hunger thirst, and sleep are more tangible in how we can respind to it. And "psychic abilities" or ESP... is probably reacting all on its own. *If* it exists, it would mean that it helped some of our ancestors survive somehow. And, even if it exists, it doesn't mean we can willingly access it. We used to have tails, right? And, before that, fins? Assuming evolution is correct, we somehow made it out of being microscopic organisms in the ancient oceans of earth. Maybe some leftover sensitivity remains, and it gets triggered by our bodies or massive brains. ... Did you know the earth is just condensed star dust? And we are all basically just walking, talking lumps of star dust? And a big chunk of flying star dust could end every aspect of our existence as we know it? We are small. I'm ok with there being things out of our control or umderstanding.

[@molybdaen11]

Even if you and me would have the born ability for true telepathy - we would not be able to use it since nobody showed us how to. You would need clean tests to even find possible candidates, let alone finding the right way to train them. So unless we find a natural, it's unlikely.

"Then we have to reimagine our understanding of the world" , yeah I mean whatever helps you to get to sleep at night. It's also how our system thrives , people equate this type of stuff to card tricks etc. It's usually why this type of conversation devolves into character attacks etc, like the passive aggressive comment about Russel Targ not being a doctor. When he is indeed a very accomplished physicist...much more accomplished than the average viewer of this with their tertiary science education. I mean it keeps the world operating the way it does which works out well for the people with a vested interest in that. But the more I look at articles around consciousness etc. From leaders in the field , the more I find that the average science bro is far more confident and sure of scientific materialism than they are. It always brings me back to the guy who discovered washing your hands prevented infection whilst operating in a maternity ward. The dominant scientific authorities (other doctors) at the time, labelled him a nutcase , had him committed to an asylum, he was beaten very badly and died of an infection. Years later here we are taking our hand sanitizer and soap for granted. ✌️

[@Isometrix116]

I know it seems really silly to look into this sorta stuff, but remember that many, many things that were thought to be scientifically impossible ended up being very much true. This is especially in regard to quantum mechanics, which has a lot of things that seem like they should be impossible, like two particles that don't have the same charge occupying the same space or one particle acting like 14. If you don't look into something, you never know what is actually true, which is why the CIA did so many wacky experiments in the Cold War era.

[@jan_Masewin]

Yeep, it was still worth a try. Just so long as it’s handled scientifically and there aren’t any conflicting interests

[@chillingongreens]

You... could also look into flat earth, anti vaxx, fake moon landings, etc and find plenty of people who have rationalized or even "moralized" their beliefs. What are you really seeking to validate? Your own self worth? Because people are willing to sell if you are willing to buy. There just isn't any good research done on it. Even lifelong academics with doctorates struggle to define the concept of psychic avilities, and they flounder in attempting to put together experiments for it. They try to measure data to validate some goals, but they don't know what to measure. So I don't know how you would even begin to look something up on this. The only "real" way is to go through the process of elimination. Find everything that is *not* "psychic". And, ultimately, this will challemge your emotional attachments to some identity, beliefs, values, or culture more than the data you collect. The more important question is "Why are you searching?" What is the itch in your subconscious you are trying to scratch?

[@Isometrix116]

@@chillingongreens From a scientific perspective, you'd rather define what psychic _is_ rather than isn't. If you just say "Okay, someone being able to astral project is what we are testing" you can then do a legitimate experiment testing that. And, people did. The foundation of the experiment wasn't flawed, the way it was orchestrated was, as later proven. Often though, you can't find a reason until long after you've discovered the phenomenon. I'll again cite QM because I'm familiar with it. In early QM, you had an experiment called the double-slit experiment. It's kinda famous. Okay, but what you find is _weird_ and we can't explain it. When electrons go through the slits without observation, you see wave interference patterns... From a particle. Weird. Okay, but then you do it again, this time observing the electrons. If you do this, by say, putting a light behind the plate, suddenly, the interference pattern disappears. Quantum wave functions collapse when observed. That's wild and incomprehensible. There are ideas as to why, most with normalization due to fields used to observe electrons, but we don't know why. Schrödinger sure as hell didn't know why, and he created the F = ma of QM... Which by the way, there is no proper derivation for. In my QM class, the professor said "Okay so we take this equation, add an hbar and an i, some other random shit, do a few math tricks, and boom, you have the time-dependent schrödinger equation" Why does it work? No one knows. Shrödinger himself said that he was just trying to approximate the equation to the results and expected it to be wrong, but it has never been disproven. Anyway, as for "why are you searching"? Well, for the pursuit of knowledge. You never know what you don't test. Believing you know the results when no experiment has been done is an exercise in foolery. You may be right sometimes, but sometimes not. And those sometimes when you aren't are the moments that scientists live for because you've just discovered something new. The itch of the subconscious, for a scientist at least, is the thirst for knowledge that can never be quenched. Maybe I just misunderstand your points tho, I've been awake for way too long and my brain has been fried by homework and classes, so I am sorry lol

[@spiritfox6066]

There has never been a successful test of any psychic power under scientifically controlled conditions anywhere at any time. James Randi for decades offered a million dollars to anyone who could prove they had psychic powers under controlled conditions. He died at the age of 92 without having to pay up. It's not hard to set up- you just give the 'psychic' no information and no means of getting it. Guess what? They can't come up with anything.

Deja Vu just seems so weird. Also have a friend who has semi prophetic dreams. Not limited to self fulfilling for himself, but to other people he knows. My dad supposedly astral projected (never did drugs) and my mom's seen a ghost, twice. Maybe psychics exist, but it's not all knowing or powerful, maybe it's a rare occurance, or complete rubbish. Idk.

[@chillingongreens]

I will absolutely confirm that going heavy on the magic mushrooms will help you with deja vu. It's been a wild ride to watch like an outside observer for some of my deja vu dreams to unfold before my eyes. No one believes me. Which is fine. I mean, why would they. Come on, they would be crazy if they *did* ! Never experienced astral projection though. Had some wild flying dreams. But I can't connect those to a tangible experience that I can use my five senses for. There are always those stories where a woman knows which family member died in an accident. But there is still a strong, uh, what's the term? Coincidental bias? I think I made that up. Self confirming bias? You remember what you get emotionally validated by and forget all the times you were wrong. I don't entirely discount psychic potential. But... it's tough. I wish people taught mentalism or something more so I could distinguish between what processes are going on inside my brain... But you can't win 'em all. Some things you don't ever figure out.

Because, unlike the first experiment, they were not told what the twelve locations were in advance. After all, if psychics were really real, they wouldn't need clues. So instead of trying to match the transcript with twelves location, they were trying to match the transcript with any location they could think of. So yeah, they did not get a single match.

[@fernbedek6302]

@@giantWario I mean, I was just joking, but if they really didn’t tell the people doing the test what the 12 locations were then, unless they were all among the most famous locations on earth, even the best description would be incredibly difficult to match to just ‘anywhere on earth’. Unless they were also testing the psychic abilities of the judges. (Like, Geoguesser is not an easy game and that’s giving you a full 3D image.)

@@fernbedek6302 Do you think they expected them to answer the address or something? They were all basic locations like a museum, train station or a forest. You really don't need a long description for those. Just: ''I see a train and people are entering it'' or ''I see artwork on every wall'' is kind of more than enough. Once again, if you're really psychic, you don't need to be vague or have clues.
