(I say partially because there are a lot of pages in those that are still not released.) A long time ago, some people in the CIA were like "Well, nobody we trust has done a comprehensive review of the possibility of psychic powers... I mean, it's pretty unlikely, but let's humor them." They then went on to run *multiple* projects trying to prove the existence of psychic powers. I think there was even one isolated incident that almost convinced them, but they failed to get any results that couldn't be chalked up to random chance. They have to make the initial slides look moderately convincing to get funding from the CIA, but the results speak for themselves if you care to look through them. That is to say, it's very convincing. Very convincing that no such powers exist. --- End quote --- thank you |

Have a little bit more than a layman's understanding of the subject you're going to predict 2. Pick obviously likely option 3. Say you did it with your mind examples: It's going to rain in Williamsburg, Virginia, on Monday, or Badspot will ban someone. funny how there's next to no credible evidence outside the CIA for this stuff, by the way --- End quote --- sometimes (by that i mean a lot of the time) intel is really stuffty and you don't have much to go off of. and a lot of times these kinds of reports are made for people who know jack stuff about the subject at hand. |
