i can 'prove' that everyone (bar none) has the genuine 'psychic ability'

the nearest thing to it that defines/describes it, is that of being awake

it's not, for example, something that can be 'measured' in the usual sense >(although there are symptomatic brain waves typical to doing it that show >it's actually occurring...) but can nevertheless be experienced by anyone >which does then indeed prove (albeit indirectly) that it can indeed be
done!
so gimmie the cash! :)))

Fucking drivel as usual. Got anything useful to say? Nope, didn't
think so...
You have one of the most drab minds I have ever encountered. The chip
on your shoulder is an entire lumber mill, nay, a fucking pine forest.
You need therapy.
you need therapy.
is....... the funnyest thing i've ever heard.
no one needs therapy from a rapist.
Chris was probably making the old bad joke about a therapist.
Therapist = The-rapist
Sometimes there may be truth to it.
Often not.
you need the vacation then. lol!

That's much better Robert, much better. But it's still only one
anomaly and probably coincidental. It certainly isn't proof of an
afterlife or some sort of kinetic ability which survives death.
Shermer was torn to strips about this and a little further research by
you (it took me less than 2 minutes) would have disclosed this:
http://www.slate.com/bigideas/what-is-the-future-of-religion/essays-and-opinions/michael-shermer-opinion
You could then have found this:

"UPDATE 2: Michael has written a clarification of his piece for me to
put up, and here it is:
I read your commentary, Jerry, and as usual with your critiques in
your blog I agree with all your points about my Scientific American
column. To clarify matters please see this further explanation of my interpretation, which is that my experience in no way implies
something paranormal or supernatural. As I’ve always said (and repeat here), there’s no such thing as the paranormal or supernatural; there
is just the normal, the natural, and mysteries as yet unexplained by
natural law and chance/contingency.
Much has been made of the subtitle of the original column (stating
that my skepticism was shaken to the core), a variation of which was
used for the Online title of the essay. As is common in all magazine
and newspaper articles, essays, and opinion editorials, the editors
write the title and subtitle in a way that will make the article seem
more compelling to read, and that is the case here. My Scientific
American editors give me much freedom in choosing my own titles and subtitles, but when they have done rewrites for previous columns I
have always felt they were better than my original, and this one
seemed good to me at the time. But now I see that many readers took it
in a way I had not intended. My skepticism is in fine shape.
Hopefully this clarification in Slate will clear up matters. I guess
if I had to sum it up even briefer it would be this: Weird things
happen. We can’t explain everything. Enjoy the experience. But don’t abandon science or the natural worldview.
Michael
My only response besides expressing relief, is the one above: the
title and subtitle were actually taken from Shermer’s own words. But
again, his stand is clear, and that’s what we should take away from
this (besides the lesson to be careful with words!)."
So, Robert, back to the drawing board.
BTW, I have the entire collection of William Corliss's books and
handbooks. Hard to get and well out of print:

I'll post some choice anomalies when I return from overseas.
