Participate in the experiment, and then judge
Amanda,
Welcome to the message board! I notice that you pounce right on this experiment and call it rubbish.
Now, before you call it rubbish, you should try to view the book yourself, and have a few rounds of viewing, perceiving, or however you want to guess the book. I've probably done about 20 rounds, and guessed correctly once. For having claimed no ability, that's about right. I recommend you try it to see how you do after a few tries. My take on the experiment is that Paj changes the books randomly, and sees who guesses right or not. Not sure how this is rubbish, except that those of us trying to guess the books probably do not have the ability to "view" well at all.
Having said that, I am sure there are those that could view well. I have seen more than I've bargained for and know that there is more than the purely physical in this world. (And having a strong scientific background, I know all about the physical world.)
Paj is rightly skeptical about many things that he has not witnessed. I also was highly skeptical that people could talk to ghosts, see auras, or "get a strong feeling that something is wrong" with someone they know. *I* know that people can do this, but if I didn't witness it, I'd be skeptical, and leave room for the possibility for it to be true.
Paj, while being skeptical, is not a troll. He has discussed things quite civilly on this board and makes the debate worthwhile. You displayed troll-like behaviour jumping in the discussion and calling it rubbish. (but I'll leave the final decision to the mods
) I do applaud you for bringing some liveliness to this discussion. I look forward to the future discussions and debates that take place on this board.
On with the viewing! (or however people guess the books).
And Paj, if I've made assumptions here that are wrong, please correct me.
