uhhh. Yeah, it don't work liek that... Where is the evidence for this. The video listed none of the names of the scientists who conducted this survey. Animals do not communicate learned actions through telepathy and neither do we humans..

^Assuming you restrict his powers of telepathy.

'He said that he has been briefed BY the government on more than one occasion as to the fact that the UFO phenomenon is real, that we (presumably the government) are in contact with extraterrestrials.'

This is the only thing about this that does make me wonder. At a guess either he's lying, or he exaggerating insanely, that they briefed him but not that UFOs are real - just that he shouldn't go around saying crazy sounding stuff as it makes them look bad.

I've seen two strange looking lights in the sky in my life, i think it would be a bit nuts to think they were aliens though (because there's never been any evidence that they exist).
- Also, the enormous scale of the universe and the unlikelihood of evolution reaching our point is so massive that i doubt anyone would have had time to reach us from such large distances ( and the light from here wouldn't have reached them yet either..)
I'm not doubting it fully, just 98%, this guy is a bit nuts so he's not a reliable source for this info. Telepathy indeed *rolls eyes* ...

Thanks for crosslinking that video, turkey. That was an amazing video. Just wow.

Those rings of thought-communication-fish-telepathy... where have I seen them before...

HA!

and who else would show up, the moment i hit 'submit', on my comment here!!
bitchez don't know 'bout mah quantum entanglement telepathy.

magic marker is to words as actual painting equipment is to... telepathy? what?

LOL at "well-respected parapsychologist", that phrase is an oxymoron and especially ironic considering the two professors you're talking about. Tart got a Pigasus Award in 1981 for being such a tool, and Targ was one of the ones who thought Uri Geller was an actual psychic before Randi debunked him. Targ was so far gone as to publish a book (Mind-Reach: Scientists Look at Psychic Abilities) saying as much with his Scientologist buddy Harold Puthoff.

Speaking of parapsychology, Susan Blackmore has a PhD in parapsychology and she has a few things to say about her experiences here and here. I particularly like this quote: "The way I really think is more like this: 'I am a scientist. I think the way to the truth is by investigation. I suspect that telepathy, clairvoyance, psychokinesis and life after death do not exist because I have been looking in vain for them for 25 years. I have been wrong lots of times before and am not afraid of it.'"

As to the Ganzfeld experiments, causation can't be established to any psychic phenomena. As Dgandhi said, yes, there is a statistically significant effect, but that effect is linked instead to severe experimental and analytical flaws, of which there are dozens if not hundreds, including amongst them interference in the procedure of the experiment by the researchers, outright cheating on the part of the researchers, allowing subjects to receive aural clues (as Dgandhi said above), and even basic failure to perform proper randomization.

http://www.skepticreport.com/psychicpowers/ganzfeld.htm

Then again, Mink, I couldn't care less about debunking every single experiment "proving" psychic phenomena, especially if the only thing you have to offer is mindless throw-away comments without any actual effort on your part, when you don't even read the report I cited that did, in fact, offer debunking and criticism galore. It's boring, it's already been done, and, most importantly, the onus is not on me to prove anything.

I am going to finish up by quoting Dghandi, because what he wrote so eloquently bears repeating:
"The question is have these organizations produced extraordinary evidence through replicable experiments to back up their extraordinary claims, and the answer is still no."

(comment NSFW) ^ do you mean a variation of this?

Re your wife joining, I'd say that was non cheating for both of you. In fact, if you both had clones, and spent time with each other irrespective of each others cloneness, I'd say none of that was infidelity.

On a side note, might the possibility of a clone providing slef pleasure ever be a female fantasy? (youdiejoe has shown that it could for a guy, and that two female clones could be a fantasy for a guy goes without saying, and isn't what I mean).

Moving back off the sub topic, I was wondering if a good use of cloneing would be to experience things of possible high reward but also greater risk. (World travel partly falls into this, the risk also being reduced by simultaneously being able to stay at home and work, funding said trip. which sucks for that clone).

Or, would the survival instinct/self preservation be no more diluted than the situation of identical twins.

Infact, does the concept of identical twin completely break the clone concept, because we never just mean genetic parity, but also mental and "self" parity...

E.g. a clone does not take normal time for their body to grow to a level of development matching that of the cloned person, and that a mental imprint is taken too, such that the clone IS the same person from that point.

However, Id think that this would still allow divergence of person hood, from this point of cloning.

Thinking about this, and considering possibility's of telepathy/mental communication and communion, I'd think the next stage up from the above cloning (immediate, and self clone as well as genetic) would be for the two individuals to be in continual contact mental, sharing ideas/thoughts and relating their divergent experiences (one at work/one traveling, or one at work/one with the wifes clone).

Next level up form this, and what I'd perceive to be the ideal, is the concept of OverMind with clone body's being subprocess units.

Let me use computer analogies to explain what I mean.

1.Genetic Cloning (Identical twin paralel)
Two PCs, built with the same hardware. They initially run the same program, but each program is fed distinct data. Due to the divergence in data, the program states diverge form each other with time, this divergence becoming increasingly noticeable.

2. Instant Cloning with Mind Copy.
1PC is built, and a program is set running. It is fed data.
Another PC is built with the same hardware as the first PC. The program running on the first PC is loaded into the new PC. A snapshot, of the first PCs program state and data history, is used to initialize the 2nd PCs program.

Although both are in sync at this point, they will be fed distinct data from here on and thus grow apart form each other.

3. Instant cloning with Mind Copy and Experience Sharing/Communication.
Same as above, but once running, the 2nd PC feeds its experience data to the first, and vis versa. Communication is constant and "self" decisions are shared by discussion.

4. OverMind, many bodys.

Instant Bodys clones are made as needed. Each one is capable of providing its brain as an extra CPU... e.g.

Mainframe. One program running. Whilst running, Hardware is upgrading, adding and removing CPUs as bodies are created/destroyed. Rather than multiple programs being run/stoped, its always the same single program, the same "self" just using more brain capacity when tis their.

I think option 4 is definitely the most desirable, allows self to fully experience all the "Rolls" to which a body is assigned (ala mlx's original ideas) and there can be no concept or worry about either infidelity or clash of self with divergent self (identical twins are far from guaranteed to get along). Also, the self is less threatened by danger to an individual unit/body, and is therefore free to gain the rewards of greater experience through greater risk taking.

SF has dealt with these ideas quite often. A pop SF overmind parallel would be the Borg from ST, although that doesn't use cloning but predatory parasitic invasion/assimilation and has gone way beyond a sensible safety net of a few helpful Units.

This is a good read, and handles clone + mind copy for life extension/self recovery after accident, as well as complications and other themes.

unfortunately, none of which will help mlx do the activities of 5* a single person, or me get to Burning Man any time soon.

That was MY collective idea, Maudlin! Now I gotta think of something else for my gold star. Do you know how hard that is?? I don't appreciate your telepathy, and using your powers for evil is just sick.

Anyway, invite me.

Yet another supporting bit of evidence to the telepathy hypothesis.
