For what it's worth I doubt Chiefs friend would be eligible for the test.
"Since April 1, 2007 only those with an already existing media profile and the backing of a reputable academic are allowed to apply for the challenge. The resources freed up by not having to test obscure and possibly mentally ill claimants will then be used to challenge high-profile alleged psychics and mediums such as Sylvia Browne and John Edward with a campaign in the media."
"On March 8, 2011, the JREF announced that qualifications were being altered to open the Challenge to more applicants. Whereas applicants were previously required to submit press clippings and a letter from an academic institution to qualify, the new rules now require applicants to present either press clippings, a letter from an academic institution, or a public video demonstrating their ability."
As for believing Chief, I have no problem believing that a gullible half-wit was fooled into thinking another has psychic powers. We see the sort of observational and thinking skills the Chief applies, and much smarter and much more educated people than him get fooled everyday, often by cheap carnie tricks.
However this last post convinces me he is lying by the sheer stupidity of his words. lets have a look...
I can only see bad things happening from that though. He would get global recognition and people would want to know how he is able to do this. He will tell them that we all have the tools to do it and it has to do with spirituality. Most likely everyone would believe him. Unless you are stubbornly holding onto your beliefs and claim that he doesnt know how he is able to do it or that hes lying to us and hes really an atheist with ESP... So people will think he knows the secrets of reality, and probably just as many people will see him as the anti-christ or the devil. People would accept his explanations of everything and those explanations would be threatening to those that are in power, wars can be caused over that shit. The last thing that those who are in power want is for truth to be heard.
Millions of people believe thoroughly in Sylvia Browne and John Edwards, who indeed tell people that spirituality gives them the tools to talk to dead people and gain truth. Dozens of these believers are in government, yet no one is going to war over them being the Anti-Christ. The reason is that no psychic has ever revealed any truth or secrets the government finds threatening. I would also hate to think that someone who knows 'the secrets of reality' would have trouble out maneuvering the government. It seems these powers are more of a handicap than an advantage.
For every person in power who does not want 'the truth to be heard', there is another person in power and would love for the truth to be heard. You don't think China or Iran would love to expose some truths about the US? You don't think G.W would have liked to find Bin Laden? You are now not only asking us to believe some dude has powers, you want us to believe there is a global conspiracy to squash these powers. World cooperation where none exists otherwise.
Even if there wasnt any bad consequences like that, the money and fame would only corrupt his soul. Surely he wasnt sent here to prove ESP and get a million dollars and have a bunch of bling and a pool full of hoe's. Thats stupid. This is a crucial time in Earths history and hes going to play a role in it. Im not expecting you to believe me. How can you? This is quite the fucking story and even if I provide my friends information it still wouldnt be convincing... You guys are asking and I am telling, and thats pretty much all I can do unless you want to take a trip over here and get a dose reality. Believe what you want.
So this friend who has figured out the secrets of reality would be corrupted by money and fame? Hes such an old soul yet would be tempted by bling and hoes? How spiritual can he be if he has not learned to forgo earthly possessions? If all it would take to derail this crucial player in earth history is a measly million dollars, then why wouldn't governments simply pay him off rather than start wars? What is stopping your friend from donating the money to a worthy charity, thus strengthening his character instead of corrupting it? A million dollars would feed a lot of starving children, seems rather selfish of your friend to deny them food. For all the spiritual insight and secrets your friend knows, you describe him as a rather shallow and fragile soul. You don't have much faith in him apparently.
It seems you thought about these statements only long enough to perceive that they back you up, but not long enough to tell if they make sense. Typical of your standards. Virtually everything you say is a contradiction. Your words are riddled with inconsistencies. We find contradiction and inconsistency when people are lying.
This is what the Cheif always brings us, half baked fantasies of a kid who wants to feel special but is unable to think clearly and honestly. He falls for his own bullshit. He spends time nearly every day posting here, yet he claims it is a 'shit show', apparently one he enjoys. He has been telling us about his friend for months and is even willing to hook us up on Facebook yet he doesn't care at all if you believe him or not.
I am becoming more convinced that the Chief is either incredibly stupid or mentally ill. Either way exchanges with him are beginning to feel like poking a caged retard with a stick - not fair. Too bad the discovery institute is not offering a million dollars to disprove creationism. Chief is all the evidence we would need to falsify intelligent design.
- Game, set, match. I'll keep my retard-pokin' stick handy in case the critter tries to get into the science, reason, and fact jars again. Can't have him contaminating those. How's it going setting up the FB chat, CWE? Nothing yet? Be sure to keep us posted, I'll hold my breath starting... now...
