Has your hand raised yet? 8^)
Only under the force of my own thought so far :) I don't claim
ownership of that brilliant joke BTW, I have seen it used as an
internet signature by several people.
It certainly got me laughing, so thanks for posting it. 8^)
I have to ask the obvious question though - how do you know for sure
that every time your hand raises it is under the force of your own
thought? For example, subjects of hypnosis do things that they think
are under the force of their own thought, and possibly they are, yet
the actions are coincidentally consistent with instructions received,
like quacking at the sound of a bell.
I suppose mind control at a distance would not actually qualify as
telekinesis/psychokinesis. Such an event could be a combination of
telekinesis and mind control/memory erasure though, whereby the hand
was moved directly and memory shut down for the event. Difficult
subject matter for experimental examination.
