I personally do not believe in telepathy. There exists no medium for thoughts to be transferred from one person to another. I think what probably happens is the supposedly telepathic person is highly perceptive and he/she can "guess" what the other person is thinking in a highly accurate manner.

Like, seriously. Proponents of telepathy should take it upon themselves to come up with a mechanism for how telepathy works.

P.s. apologies to the mod/s if in the wrong forum. I was gonna put this in the paranoid delusion forum but I guess they got rid of it.

yeah i reckon its a combination of reading various signals and predicting what the person would think.

i mean, "reading minds" usually involves something like what a person is going to say or something. but if asked to guess a number between 1 and 1000, it would be fairly difficult

Ok I’ll play, I’m capable of telepathy and here is how. I am capable of reading peoples thoughts at very short range (ie. When my skull is pressed to theirs) by having their electrical brain activity induce a small magnetic field witch in turn causes a similarly induced charge in my brain, though of course not exactly along the same axions and what not. The ability to perceive and discern patterns in the very slight magnetic fields caused by brain activity is the core of telepathy.

OK that’s my theory and its fatally flawed for many reasons but I think it’s a good theoretical base for the idea (abet not practical at all).

its fatally flawed for many reasons [and] not practical at all
I'd flame you, but you already seem to have flamed yourself.

haha Yes well while completely impractical for the average psychic or whatever, isn't the theory of inducing electrical brain function at a distance reasonable? My biology is rusty:confused:

No?
You're saying that the electrical impulses in someone's brain will cause a magnetic field that will somehow induce the same impulses in different places in your brain? That's fucking ridiculous.

Besides which, even fairly strong magnetic fields (MRIs, for example) have no effect on brain function and are completely undetectable by humans.

EDIT: @OP: if psychics cared about science, they wouldn't be psychics. I'm pretty sure they just call it magic.
