And since that is itself a negative statement there should be no way for you to prove it. Yet somehow it follows logic. Care to explain?

That's why my next post included "Strike that". It does seem to be an extremely impractical thing to do, however.
 
I am in agreement with Ashels, it is the same for any devination tool, tarot are the same when predicting a yes or no outcome.

Nobody else has... so I guess I'll bite.

What was the mechanism that brought the ideomotor effect into existence? If it exists to tap into our 6th sense, what caused it to fulfill that purpose?

And speaking of "[d]ouble standards," I note that you never responded to my comment in the "I'm proud of my 2 year old skeptic" thread:

Approrpriate though it is that you are ending your posts with "Lame Lame Lame" I think we should point out for younger viewers how desperate your position actually is.

You claim you can do something paranormal.

There is a world famous challenge which will pay anyone a million dollars for demonstrating a paranormal ability.

You are asked why you don't apply for the challenge.

Then, strangely, instead of providing any answer, you mention another (well-known to be flawed) challenge that offers a million dollars to prove there is no paranormal.
Why would this be of any relevance?

If I could boil an egg and someone informed me I could win a million dollars for demonstrating this ability, I would, er, demonstrate it. I would apply that day.
I wouldn't be interested in any challenge that offered a million for proving that egg-boiling is impossible. It wouldn't be relevant to me.

But this is all pointless really. Mayday obviously has no more ability to do anything paranormal than my mouse pad.

Still it's interesting watching her continuous squirming and feeble excuses.
One might almost describe them as... Lame.
 
Back to the double-standard: I think mayday's the one with that problem: I only need one replicable demonstration of a paranormal event to change my mind. It seems to me she would need to observe all of time and space without seeing the paranormal to change her mind.

Please correct me if I'm creating a straw man, mayday.
 
I recently managed to instill doubt in a coworker who insisted that it worked - I just kept saying '50% / 50%' and she eventually started to realise what I was saying.... ;)

Boy, some of these people like to throw the term "ideomotor effect" around like it is the explanation for everything.
What they don't understand is that the ideomotor effect is there for a reason. Used correctly you *can* access your sixth sense through this ideomotor effect, and you can learn and realize some very valuable info. this way.

Win the Powerball yet ? Or is your sixth sense intent on being poor?

My mother had three boys, they recently let her go from the asylum. Buckle up Simpson, you might be in for quite a ride. :D
 
Mayday, our resident 'drive-by' poster or any other that is familiar with gender dowsers.

Which dowser describes the pendulum patterns for all eleven gender types?
