Automatic Drawing

JoeTheJuggler said:
Visiting three psychiatrists must be expensive. I'm curious, is the diagnosis "automatic drawing" covered by your insurance?

It may have gone this way:

*knock**knock*
"Yeah?
-Dr. Robertson?
-Yes?
-Psychiatrist, right?
-Yes. Who are you?
-I can draw without trying and without knowing how to.
-Uh... ok.
-Amazing, isn't it?
-Uh, not really. Automatic writing and drawing is a delusion.
-So you've never seen it before?
-You could say that.
-Cool!"
 
Automatic writing may have been invented by the surrealists (Helpless Kitten's games were) and they certainly made it popular. It's also used by spiritualists.

It is not a diagnosis, but it is sometimes a symptom of schizophrenia, in roughly the same way that a schizophrenic can have visual and auditory hallucinations and not recognize that they are coming from his own brain.

However automatic drawing by itself is not dangerous and does not need to be treated. In fact some psychiatrists use it as a diagnostic tool, because the subject is able to say things that he is consciously repressing.
 
Los Gatos?

I live like ten minutes from Los Gatos.

I'd be up for helping to test this guy.
 
How did you come up with Los Gatos. That's about 90 minutes from me.

The link given above does not work.

Psychiatrists diagnosed 'automatic drawing' and had never witnessed it before?
Possible diagnoses: Lance has a mental disorder of some kind, but it is not 'automatic drawing'.

I know. I prefer following up in the original, though. Makes the board tidier.


Lance said it, in post 55.

“Katcher has worked for years in kitchens all around the country and wherever he’s gone, created a sensation. Perhaps it is his indefatigable energy or his choice of the freshest ingredients or the way he preps food for hours—but, as a whole, eating from his kettle is a marvel.”
Rocky Mountain News
This four-month-old downtown restaurant has become a mecca for South Florida’s yuppie set and the avant-garde because of the genius of chef Lance Katcher.”
Fort Lauderdale News

“The place is nearly always full, and the feedback has been impressive. It’s easy to see why Chef Katcher is nothing if not versatile; this must be the most extensive menu in town.”

“…it’s nearly always packed full of exuberant, noisy diners, obviously enjoying chef Lance Katcher’s full range of fare. He’s the star of the food show. A video monitor over the bar lets you watch the hyper Katcher gyrating, tossing, whipping, stirring and ladling in his frenetic kitchen.”
L.A. Daily News
“It’s one of my favorite restaurants in town, and we couldn’t help being charmed by Lance Katcher.”
Hollywood Spotlight
The menu divised by chef Lance Katcher is amazing. There’s an endless array of fresh fish in whatever sauce you choose and desserts that are
far above what you might expect to find at prices like these.”
The Dining Guide Southern California

“The originality & culinary skill of Mr. Katcher!”

I have trouble believing that Randi personally responded to Lance. All challenge enquiries are supposed to go through the Waggster, and I have every reason to believe that contacting Randi directly for such matters tends to evoke a less-than-polite response. And rightly so.
 
Oh dear, Lance.
Katcher might be [excited], but I could become bored with this lackluster catch faster than you can say Seafood Helper. He needs to intensify tastes if he truly wants this restaurant to be a keeper.

But that aside, I'd just like to wish you well. You haven't a hope of even getting TO the starting line of even the preliminary testing phase, let alone over it, but good luck anyway!
 
Thanks

I have no idea what you meant by that, and I suspect you don't either. So a word of advice: Don't post when stoned, OK? You will regret it.

You said it.

Lance, out of curiosity, do you do drugs of any kind?
 
Being famous for being a chef won't satisfy the "notoriety" rule of the Challenge, I'm betting. You have to be notorious for your claimed paranormal ability (for example, Sylvia Browne or John Edward).

You keep thanking people for their advice, but I notice that you're coming up short on answering questions. Would you please answer this one for me: exactly how is your claim paranormal, and how will you demonstrate that?

Again, simply drawing will not do it. It has to be paranormal. What, specifically, are you going to do?

Whatever it is, he sounds like he is going to do it while coasting in orbit around Neptune.
 
Lance, you still haven't responded to the most important point raised, by myself, others here and Randi himself. Drawing is not paranormal. Drawing well is not paranormal. Drawing with your eyes closed is not paranormal. Nothing you have said is in the least bit paranormal. You will not be tested until you claim something that actually is paranormal. What can you do that is actually paranormal?
 
I can draw with both hands at once, but I can't cut up an onion. Your problem is you know too many chefs and not enough artists. Sorry to let you down Lance, but your claim is not paranormal.
