Influencers Are Faking Mind Powers For Clout

[@MightyManotaur22]

In high school I used to play a game with my friends called "useless superpowers" where you'd take turns coming up with superpowers that had some sort of limitation that made them way less cool. My favorite example: You can summon bears but can't control them. Anyway, I think "you have telekinesis but only on aluminum foil" would have been a strong entry for that game.

[@kokorothealien6735]

Honestly I need as many examples as I can get my hands on this sounds wonderful 💀✨ It reminds me of a game my friend and I came up with that has a similar concept; Minorly inconvenient curses, such as every 2nd time you leave the house, you get pooped on by a bird. It does not heavily affect your life, it’s just weird as hell and annoying.

Oh my GOD. I nearly worked for a fencing academy affiliated with that Utah program. I got hired on as an admin assistant but before I could even fill out the paperwork on my first day, I was required to watch a video on the owners with this old man who founded this "science". It was incredibly culty and gave serious red flags. When the owners asked me what I thought, I gave my honest opinion that its not founded in science and in my quick google search (it was a 40 minute long video), I couldn't find any backing. They argued back that the scientific community could not replicate his findings because only the old man knew how to do it??

Yep, I just made a very similar comment.

They probably feel a lot of pressure to 'succeed' because all of the adults (including their own parents) are pushing this idea. But what they don't realize is that they AREN'T the only one who can't do it, and all the other kids are thinking and feeling the same way.

[@darkprincette]

@@Crackpot_Astronaut yeah, exactly!! i read a post online a while ago about a teacher that had made an assignment that was destined to fail (the kids had to try to grow a seed and compare the process to their original hypothesis, but they were given seeds that wouldn't grow), but apparently the ENTIRE class assumed they'd been the only ones to mess up and got a different seed instead of admitting theirs hadn't grown. I'm not a psychologist but i feel like there's a lot to be said about that. (iirc the teacher wanted to fail them all but the principal wouldn't let them, because if all the students fail it's only because the teacher did so first. of course, this is a story on the internet, take it with a pinch of salt)

I had a similar thing with my house. A door in the basement would close on its own if left open. Tho I thought the basement was haunted and not that I had powers lol. The door closed cause it wasn’t levelled

[@SilverDragonJay]

it also turns out that its possible to hang a door wrong so that it will sometimes swing open and closed at random times. If its uneven, for example, and it doesn't latch properly, an almost imperceptible gust of wind can be enough for it to open all on its own. Once its done properly, it stops happening. Pressure differentials can also be enough to cause that. I remember countless times growing up when someone would open one door (even an internal one) and it would cause the garage door to slam shut. I think its easy for a lot of people to forget that we live in a medium: air. We aren't always aware of it, we can't always detect the miniscule ways it moves around us, but even in a seemingly still environment its still swirling and moving, we just can't detect it without tools.

Hi Danny, that "karate" school is actually a pencak silat school from Indonesia. It's called Merpati Putih (meaning white dove) which you can see on the logos in their gym and badges. I immediately recognized it because I used to train in that school in Indonesia lol. I'm actually surprised they have a branch in the USA, but I can confirm that the blindfolded stuff is something they make us do because spirituality is a huge component of pencak silat as a martial art. But usually, it's to train your focus, spatial awareness, and hearing. Merpati Putih primarily focuses on self-defense, not to arbitrarily become psychic 😂😂

Do the people commenting about how it worked truly believe they succeeded, or do they just not want to feel insecure for being unable to do something? Or is it all just some big joke and everyone is playing along?

[@bishielurfer]

I think it's really gross that this place does this with children. Children often crave approval from those around them, don't have a great understanding of the world yet and don't really have any control over what their parents are exposing them to, so preying on those vulnerabilities just feels especially insidious to me. Kids really only have what the adults around them are giving them to go off of, so it's entirely possible these kids truly believe they have these powers because that's what the adults are telling them. I mean it's either that or they're being pushed to lie. Neither scenario is great or strikes me as a particularly good environment for a kid to be learning from. Most of these types of places are also charging the families. Like even if the people going think it's real, the people running them are usually just scam artists. I can have sympathy for adults who earnestly believe they have supernatural powers (though sometimes it makes me very sad because it's clearly a person who should be receiving some kind of mental health treatment and isn't) and aren't hurting anyone with those beliefs. I even have a certain level of understanding for people who do things like séances if what they're doing ultimately ends up providing the people they work with comfort and closure. But I get upset when they start trying to take advantage of people (e.g., psychics who charge large amounts of money or people who claim they can heal) or involving children.

I was actually one of those kids who trained with the blindfold! I had rapidly advancing myopia at the time and they basically sold my mom on the idea that it would restore my eyesight. I wasn't allowed to read at that age because my family thought it would make my vision even worse. Anyway, I would do puzzles blindfolded which was pretty fun, and I remember the feel of that weird stryfoamy thing around my eyes like it's yesterday. It was pretty disorienting but I quickly got to a point where I could just... go about my day through just what I saw in the slits, working with very limited field of view. That might actually be useful! Being able do discern what objects are with very limited information (like a slit of myopic vision) might mean less eye strain. Not sure tho. My eyesight hasn't gotten any better though!

[@superfreq7378]

The sad thing though is that there are actually places that will teach you skills that work even for fully blind people and can get you to a level that is pretty impressive. I mean look at me, I am fully blind, but I walked to work just fine today while crossing a couple of somewhat busy streets and now I am writing this comment to you with my phone using a screen reader. last weekend I booked A hotel with my girlfriend who is also blind, Got and paid for rides to the hotel, and stayed there with no one else. before that I cooked a couple of meals with no assistance, watched lots of KZbin videos and got a couple things on Amazon and Walmart, Played some computer games etc. No it's not all sunshine and roses and some things really are essentially impossible or just much much harder without help from someone who can see, but many things can be worked around especially with the technology we have these days if you get the right kind of training. It's sad that so few people have access to that kind of training though, it is definitely a privilege and I realize that. still, blindness skills are helpful for anyone with vision loss because vision gets worse as you get older anyway, plus certain conditions are already degenerative. look up Colorado Center for the blind for an example of the kind of thing I mean if you are curious.

​@@superfreq7378 yeah, people have this belief that blind people are helpless, but obviously you aren't. It's better to actually learn how to help those with little to no sight instead of trying to "cure" them with quack science.

[@bishielurfer]

There are some really interesting techniques people can learn to function with limited to no vision. Humans have an amazing ability to adapt and learn. But trying to convince people you can heal their lost vision when there's no actual way for medical science to do so, or convince them that they have psychic powers is really messed up (especially since most of these places are charging insane amounts of money). I think it's especially gross that this place does this with children. Children don't have a great understanding of the world yet and don't really have any control over what their parents are exposing them to, so preying on those vulnerabilities just feels especially insidious to me.

[@katelynb1665]

yeah, saying it’s psychic powers is bull, but I have terrible eyesight without my glasses and can still maneuver perfectly through my house without them. your other senses just adapt. the same happens to blind animals. it’s amazing how adept the body can be :)

[@goodmorning2386]

@@bishielurfer that's the thing, humans are crazy adaptable, but it isn't psychic powers, it's just the ability of a human to adapt and overcome things and function just fine with no vision

There was a show similar to that in china but they would disprove conspiracies. One episode was about a teacher teaching kids to be able to see through things so they would blindfold them and have them read what was written on the whiteboard. Well it was revealed that they were literally just peeking underneath the blindfold. They proved it when they asked the kids to tell them what was locked in a safe

I know I'm late to this, but I think it's the kids are doing something similar to "heaven tourism" (made popular by books like heaven is for real and others like it) where the kids are playing into it all because they like the attention, and makes them feel important, and importantly just telling the adults around them what they know they want to hear. A lot of the child authors of these books have come back as adults and explained that they were lying to get the attention from the adults around them. (I'm specifically citing Alex Malarkey's story for those interested)

The thing is, its absolutely possible to learn how to do basically anything blindfolded with enough trial and error. People speedrun entire games blindfolded effortlessly. The difference is they don't do it to scam people, and they definitely do not indoctrinate kids into their scams.

The thing is though, with that you’re completely reliant on senses other than sight. So unless you have different textured paper that you are holding in your hands to guess the color that way or something, you can never ‘see’ blindfolded no matter how much you practice

If I remember one person described it, telekinesis is you moving it with like, your life force basically (despite tele in the name) and psychokinesis is the actual ability to move objects with only your minds power. I could be wrong, been a while, but that's what I was told.

The school thing with blindfolded kids has been disproven through another experiment. I forgot what it’s called. But we learned about it in some psych class. And yes Danny was right. Most of the time the kids were just looking through the blindfolds or they had memorized the orders of cards, or obstacle courses. Originally the schools knew what day the observers were coming and controlled the order of the tests. But the researchers came back on another day unannounced and controlled the tests themselves and the kids all failed
