And every single day millions of people bet on the lottery and it's easy to calculate how much money the state should make on average each day if the telepathic effect was zero; and every day that is indeed what turns out to have occurred. The outcome is always consistent with the telepathic effect being zero. States are so certain of the consistency of this revenue stream they base their budgets on it. And it's not just the lottery, the next time you go to Los Vegas take a look at all those big beautiful casinos and ask yourself where the money to build them came from. It came from the pockets of people just like you who thought they were telepathic and could beat the law of averages. If it were real the existence of telepathy would have been demonstrated to EVERYBODY'S satisfaction centuries ago, but instead we are rehashing the same crappy anecdotal evidence we were centuries ago and going nowhere.
