Savantism and Memory Competitions

Science says otherwise even spect scans can’t find a difference.

And yes I used to be like you always sceptical until I was locked up for that and they told me what I going to tell you it’s not how smart you are but rather Walther or not you can live in socaity

You are making a lot of claims. Can you please tell us your sources?

Are you meaning to say that it was proven by your science, or is that just a typo?

In what universe is this an appropriate response? Making assumptions about some mental “condition” and suggesting I get help?

There is only one person in this topic needing to calm down :wink:.
PS. If you try to collect your thoughts into a single post, or at the very least proofread before you hit “reply”, then it would make this thread alot more pleasant and readable.

I asked one question about one of your numerous claims. One. And for that you had no answer but to bluster and cast stones. Should I believe a claim like that just because some guy on the internet claims it’s true? I am not interested in being bullied into agreeing you.

That kind of response undermines the credibility of the rest of your claims.

No I was put there for autistic spectrum disorder and because I was questioning my doctor asking them to run test to prove that they were telling me the truth and that is why I was there

I can’t find anything on him. Are you sure you spelled it correctly?

Look up the giga society world most exclusive high IQ societies

You implied that the questioning would cause hospitalization, not ASD

Actually there has been considerable scientific investigation into ESP. In fact it was a whole academic field of study for over a decade until it produced no significant results and many of the practitioners were exposed as conmen. A credible source would be a peer reviewed paper published in a respected scientific journal. Nor would a single such study establish the claim as fact, it would need to be duplicated by an independent lab.

Can you please refer me to the article where Paul couljaman published his result?

That ESP has been a “thing” for years means nothing more than a lot of credulous people took it up and talked about it. It’s become a trope in sci fi and popular culture. Reddit chatter does not constitute credible evidence.

That you claim science won’t investigate ESP is either ignorance or dishonesty

Can you cite some of his work on savants please?
I am interested in reading about it, not arguing.

@zvuv I found this. It appears he misspelled the name.

Well, thanks to @log2 I found the Giga Society website but no reference to proof of ESP. But I did find the correct spelling of
paul cooijman

and this page where he offers a prize to anyone who can satisfy his ESP test. https://paulcooijmans.com/psi/esp.html

but sadly, again no mention of proof.

So I ask again, please refer us to the article where this astonishing, historic event was credibly reported.

Sorry, this discussion got a little out of hand, so I merged and removed some posts. If the post mainly contained insults or arguments, I removed it, since it’s a distraction from the main topic.

Let’s keep the conversation friendly and respectful. :slight_smile:

Side note: I recommend watching this documentary called Secrets of the Psychics.

(I closed this topic for the evening, but it will open back up tomorrow.)

Randi was a major figure in the campaign to expose psychic practitioners as charlatans. As a magician he had the ideal skill set for detecting their tricks.

I confess that many years ago I was credulous of these claims but a year’s subscription to the Skeptical Inquirer (at that time a printed publication) pulled the scales from my eyes.

Yes but he is but sight some who was not on TV. Also with his anger I won’t listen ager makes people not listen. Also he also you sight the same sorses over and over and they are all celebrity atheists and material reductionist. Also you didn’t read the intare giga society web page about the nature of you did then yod se that Paul couljamans logic is that your not even trying to investigate it fairly your just shootung the idea down without even giving it a shot because some crazy guy got up on stage and picked a tantrum like a five year old

(I removed some more comments and will put this in slow mode again.)

I’d recommend watching the video again but with an open mind. What if it’s right? :slight_smile:

Understand very well.
