any experience with people predicting numbers in roulette? (as in psychics)

thought you serious...

I am. I do think you're a sock puppet or tout, not sure who/what, but I'm certain you are up to something fishy. That's one of my many special abilities.

Aside from that, show me your special Supernatural abilities and I'll show you how to make millions.

My supernatural ability is empathy.

I'm just noticing this thread. I was originally going to respond to cool Ben Franklin (memory loss) about psychics.

I believe psychics can exist, but they can only have a material affect on the universe if the universe wants it to be.

I am firm I believe we in fact live in a simulated universe. There are so many reasons for it, but the biggest is how electrons behave when being observed and the speed of light being constant and spooky action at a distance where information travels faster than the speed of light, and time being relative. There are more I don't need to mention. I think the biggest is the universe coming into existence from nothing. It was created from a universe which always existed in the base reality, this is how a universe can come from nothing and also because a universe which was created needs to have continuity I think. The parts are interconnected with time and space, so it has to be locked in on something. We know people have had brain injuries being able to understand languages, people who are human calculators, they see numbers in the same way. In a real universe, I call bs on the brain being able to work this way.

A psychic can know in his mind and people can observe his predictions, but the second he tries changing the universe, it cannot work unless the universe wants it to work. In Super Mario Brothers, some little monster mushroom, can't just decide to switch with Mario unless the game allows it. Only Mario can be Mario within that universe and he can't do what the game won't let him because he cannot change the game programming. The creator can give God powers or cheat codes.

I suggest anyone who thinks this is remotely possible ("remotely" -- that's a joke, get it, as in "remote viewing?") read James Randi's FlimFlam and go from there.

Debunking paranormal is a hobby of mine, but I sure wouldn't waste time on a roulette dude. If anybody wants to bet him, dig up your own roulette wheel, make him a bet he can't do a couple standard deviations above chance, and have at it.

Now the problem (I'm a stickler for details) is whether the dude is displaying precognition or telekinesis. So you've gotta discern if he is picking the numbers well in advance without being on site with the wheel (precognition) or whether he is telekinetically affecting the spins while on site, or both. Now both would be tricky to test.

I'm sure the mods are impressed by my sophistication, eh?

Of course, you have to also make sure he isn't using telekinesis to affect the neurons in your brain to influence what you think that you see as opposed to the roulette ball itself. One would think affecting neurons would require less telekinetic brute force, but maybe it's so delicate, it's easier to affect the wheel.

I'm just getting started, but you get the picture, eh?

Good luck with that.

You can debunk because you are able to debunk it. There can be 2 states, and you can see one or the other. Debunking is an option and the debunked requires self-correction. The universe would change to another if the universe decided to be bunked by you. You would declare you bunked it, and the the universe would comply with consistency. One movie I like is Stranger than Fiction, it deals with this issue with a meta aspect.

If someone was to say he discounted completely the idea that there is a sixth sense or asserted that all psychics in the world were fake, I'd say that person has a closed mind.

If he said he needs convincing evidence is all, well, OK

If he* said the idea that a psychic could have a vision or something that emanated from an inanimate object like a roulette ball, that's a concept that is really out there ~ far enough out there to just dismiss and not legitimately be accused of having a closed mind. If the psychic could pick out a player who was on track to win, though still needing a lot of evidence at least we are no longer talking about inanimate objects.

*that would be me dismissing this btw

You can relive the same life exactly the same way if compelled, but you can have different thoughts every time as long as they have no influence. Maybe compulsions really are compulsions, the people literally cannot stop. A grain of sand on a beach, cannot control all the others, but it can in an hour glass.
