Reports on anything, from telepathy, to precognition, to global
warming/climate change, Y2K are STORIES, subject to verification with
hard evidence and the scientific method.
Lots of people have "premonitions" and beliefs they experience
telepathy..... The premonition hotlines have demonstrated _premonitions
as false_ - not one in 100's of 1000's (maybe millions) of submissions
was a hit, not just by http://thepremonitions.com but by maybe 6 other
similar hotlines over the last 20 years.
Problem is - people make hundreds of guesses as to what might be
happening somewhere else, or what someone is thinking. And some, like
YOU, likely never figure in wrong guesses. And when, by luck, a guess is
confirmed as a "hit," you call it premonition or telepathy..... Sorry,
that is the opposite of the scientific method.
James Randi and hundreds of others have tirelessly listened to the
stories (you call them reports, Cosmin) of 10's of 1000's of people
claiming PSI capability. Why? Because we feel that these claimants may
have the greatest probability of actually performing psychic feats since
they claim they can. Randi's applicants must agree to be impartially
tested using the scientific method, which, if you are familiar with it,
demands that an investigator create falsifiable hypotheses with the aim
of demonstrating a hypothesis "true" or "false." Prejudice or
charlatanism doesn't figure into tests, as they are proctored by people
that really want to establish PSI as real, including the claimant!
I don't lie - but yes, I have made many "guesses" about what people may
have been thinking or events happening - and occasionally I get a hit.
But I don't lie to myself and call it a premonition or telepathy.
Cheers!

Landing on the Moon is anecdotal, since is only reported by 3 people.
Telepathies are reported by 7 billion people all the time, including
me, so they are not anecdotal. They are like breathing. Everybody
breaths. And if you say you never had telepathies, you lie.

Just because an article in a journal of APS, AAAS (both
organizations of which I am a member), or Nature appears, doesn't
mean the subject matter of the article is true. I had an EE
educated father with a dozen patents that "believed" in psychic
phenomena, and helping him investigate was very sobering, as all
leads ended in a brick wall - when it came to actually performing.
That's how I met Randi. So much anecdotal "evidence." But the
bottom line was, all anecdotes, when one does due diligence to see
the performance - can't demonstrate, without exception. And,
Cosmin, if you would actually investigate, rather than decide how
"believable" anecdotal stories are - you might change your "beliefs!"

If you're right about that then it should be easy to find
ironclad evidence within the month that will convince even the
most skeptical editors of journals like Physical Review Letters,
Nature or Science that telepathy and precognition actually exist.
So let's make a bet and I'll give you 10 to one odds; if a pro
ESP article appears before June 17 2019 in any of those journals
I'll give you $10,000, if it doesn't you only have to give me
$100. And remember the article doesn't need to explain why the
phenomena exists it just has to show that something exists that
needs explaining, So do we have a bet?
