Should the mediums do the trial before or after the sketpics?
In the CIA/US military remote viewing experiments, some researchers reported a 'telepathic overlay' where one could pick up another persons false ideas about a remote viewing target, that are not necessarily the target ... *if true* .... it might be better for mediums if the mediums go first?
Similarly Sheldrake's Morphic Resonance/Formative Causation hypothesis suggests we are responding to others people's habitual patterns of thought too. This *might* imply skeptics going first would confuse associations ... of course if mediumsgo first it might also help the later skeptics slightly?
I don't know .... just a thought.... I suppose it is up to the mediums.... assuming they actually know how they do it. |
funny, I was just thinking about this because I've posted the Skeptical version of trial 3 first this time... we'll see, but I don't expect any big difference.
