A different take on telepathy

[Dargo]

I'll start by saying this is theory and only theory. Even if I do consider this to be something beyond science fiction bordering on the paranormal magical realm. I'm a scientist first, a skeptic second and a spiritualist third. Although some people have belief only as black and white. I believe in grey. Grey meaning, anything and everything is possible.

[Dargo]

Through out mankind as we know it from recorded history to lived experiences we've liked our world to be physical in nature. Physical in nature meaning that it has to be tangible, able to be grasped, proved and explained.

[Dargo]

To consider the impossible one has to dream and from dreams come possibility. Possibility becomes fact and reality as we know it. I believe in reality, fact but unlike a lot of people I also believe in possibilities and the impossible.

[Mojo]

What do you claim to be able to do? How do you propose demonstrating it?

[Dargo]

So everything I'm about to talk about to some people should only be taken as a possibility. Although there are black and white, to be grey is possibility, balance. And balance is everything.

Dargo, you lost any credibility you may have had on these boards after your behavior in this thread:

give it up already, you made a claim & ran away rather than backing it up. No one is going to listen to you now...

Wow, the Australians prepared everything for a test, and then Dargo simply didn't show up, without notice.

Dargo, did you really think nobody would remember or search for your old thread?

[Dargo]

Great. Comments before I'd said a word. Just for your information. Your credibility can't be brought into question by the simple fact I didn't continue engaging with posters for a extended period. The absence was for a reason which I'm not going to bring to light here. This thread is for a different purpose. If and when I continue the other thread will be at my own discretion.

[Dargo]

An attempt to disguise a previous thread was never made. The one reason I'm posting on this forum is for the simple fact you're all skeptic. I don't believe in pure blind faith.

[Dargo]

Before I continue, I'd like to state that everything posted by myself in this thread is copyrighted by myself and has been written before this thread.

[Ravenwood]

You certainly don't believe in proving your claims...

[Dargo]

Now onto telepathy. I've at one point called this by another name and for good reason (this was my reference to another post which I was writing when someone else beat me to the punch).

[Dargo]

Whether I have reason to prove anything will only come later. I never stated I don't believe in proving anything. Also, in this post, this is not my endeavour at this point in time.

[Dargo]

Although the terms "paranormal", "psychic" and "magic" are common, and could very well be attached to the theme of this thread. What I'm about to propose, I'll be looking at from a scientific point of view. For one reason, my background is heavily scientific and two, at least one point in history, many current sciences were classed as these latter terms.

[Ravenwood]

Deeds, not words.... Besides, if this has nothing to do with your MDC application, it is in the wrong forum...

[Dargo]

If anyone would like to discuss the ideas of this thread from anything other than, the scientific point of view, let me know. Create a new thread or ask me too. It would be an interesting discussion.

[Dargo]

There is another thread concerning the MDC application that's current. I've decided to separate the two so as to not confuse discussion.

[Ravenwood]

This thread should be in GS&P, if it has nothing to do with your MDC application

[Rasmus]

Great. Comments before I'd said a word.

What are you talking about? You have posted both in this thread and the one that has been linked. So, comments are - in any sense of the word - after you've said a word.

Just for your information. Your credibility can't be brought into question by the simple fact I didn't continue engaging with posters for a extended period.

First, I understand from the linked thread that that is not what has been happening.

Secondly, why yes! Yes, it can. Your behaviour is the only basis anyone could have to question your credibility, after all. Discontinuing to talk with someone clearly is what I would label "behaviour".

The absence was for a reason which I'm not going to bring to light here. This thread is for a different purpose. If and when I continue the other thread will be at my own discretion.

See, I don't know you. I've only read a few odd posts in the other thread. Still, I will judge you and your credibility based on what I see.

You've got to be kidding. We are not here to feed your delusions of grandeur.

This sub-forum is for the MDC, not for blathering about wild theories.

[Dargo]

Very true is the fact that this and the other thread are linked. However as witnessed from many threads, the discussion usually contained two main elements. One concerning the application and one concerning the what the application is about, as well as many sub-elements, of course.

True, ones behaviour can be judged from the fact they chose to discontinue there discussion for an extended period of time. However, it is also true that many consideration must be taken into account to make such a judge about behaviour. Behaviour can be haphazardly defined in a moment or from a combination of moments. The final judgement shouldn't be made until the end, if there is an end. And there was never an end to the other thread, not yet at least.

[Dargo]

What I'll be conveying should neither be considered delusional or wild theories, although both are possibilities.

What I'd be suggesting will also not be included all in one post either. I'm interested in a discussion, not a one shot news piece, as per say.

[chillzero]

As this is not about a specific application, it has been moved to the corect forum.

[Gord_in_Toronto]

@Dargo

Any chance you can get to your point? I presume you have one? :confused:

[Jimbo07]

Before I continue, I'd like to state that everything posted by myself in this thread is copyrighted by myself and has been written before this thread.

If telepathy were real, I doubt you'd be able to seriously enforce certain aspects of your copyright (see the "Dan Brown" court case dealing with "history" ;)).

I predict that nobody's going to want to violate your claim of copyright on this one... :rolleyes:

[Gate2501]

Wait wait...

I've got it!

You have the psychic power to click "post" before completing your thoughts, thus resulting in many posts in a row when one would suffice.

You had your chance to do a controlled test.

You chose to not show up. Without notice.

Your behaviour in this regard displays a fine example of not acting in good faith, underlined by this:

Seems like someone demonstrated both telepathy and precognition. Go Mojo!

[nathan]

Oh, I get it. Dargo's using his telepathy power to further this discussion. He's clearly not using the written word to communicate his thoughts.

[Gravy]

Grey meaning, anything and everything is possible.
I also believe in possibilities and the impossible.You are sadly and deeply confused.

[Paul C. Anagnostopoulos]

Dargo, please put your entire remark in one post, instead of splitting it up across multiple posts. This is not a warning, only a request.

[Empress]

I count 14 posts by Dargo in this thread thus far. And s/he has yet to make a point regarding what this thread is actually about. :dig:

Dargo, please. Get. To. The. Point.

I've tried looking at this thread by bending over, looking through my legs and squinting and it still does not look like Stonehenge! :boggled:

[ferj]

I am one of the few interested in your theories but get on with it.

[Beerina]

Before trying to explain something, first demonstrate there's something to explain. That the phenomenon exists.

String theory exists but only as a theory. It may well be a load of garbage but there have been quite a few books published. So give this guy or anyone who wants to post on this forum a chance.

Did anyone ban him? If no, then he's every chance in the world. So far, he's used that chance for semi-coherent blathering but has failed to even clearly let us know what he was going on about. There's neither theory nor evidence so far.

Now, I don't even have a clue as to what string theory is, but I'd bet is has some links to the observable reality. I am certain it makes specific predictions or offers an explanation for real phenomenons. Someone feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, though.

Did you read the previous thread/s?

Dargo made claims that he has a telepathic ability (previously called "shamathy", apparently) and arranged to take a preliminary test.

In a complete surprise, Matt never turned up to show his stuff.

What chance do you think he should get having been such an obvious troll so far?

Should we give Sylvia Browne another chance? Or maybe another 10 chances?

Dargo - whatever happened to the affidavit from the doctor? That never turned up either.

Soon as I saw the name "Dargo" I put a bet on you showing up on this thread.

What took you so long, prang the car, again, on your way back from the pub.

If only you'd posted this "bet" at post 32, then you'd be on to something.

Wha!!!!!......."postnostication".......not me, no way. I never nosticated, in fact I never even inhaled.

Anyway EHocking, this is not about stalking, this is personal.
Early days TA claimed that I was a sock-puppet of Dargo.

Not knowing what "sock-puppet" was I wasnt sure whether to be flattered or annoyed. But now as a veteran I realise if Dargo is a stooge then I should have felt insulted.

So Dargo, old son, cut the crap and impress the ****(rule 10) out of these good folks.

I would hate to have to reignite my vendetta on my good buddy TA:D

Might have to change my browsing habits, I don't come in here very often.

Uh, as already noted, it took you one more than me. What's your excuse?

Actually Buzz, I do owe you an apology for that, so sorry, mate.

When Dargo stopped posting just as you started and you had [initially] similar-looking claims, I did think you were one and the same. Time has shown you to be consistent in your claims, and while I think your claims are a load of fetid dingo kidneys, I do respect your ability to hold onto them and not be dissuaded by annoying things like facts or evidence. Underneath it all, I think you're an honest enough bloke.

I'd have a beer with you anyday.

(as long as you're paying!)

Vendetta? And here was me thinking were like blood-brothers.

The kind of blood-brothers where one party gives the other AIDS, but brothers nonetheless.

Dargo's just a troll.

Must go back and check out the MySpace - I'll link to it if I can find it; Dargo likes pyramids, too.
