I can confirm after my experiments with AI that psychic powers in humans are strong enough
to move probability in their favor. That is to say, things like positive
affirmations and trying to think
a number at someone then telling them to guess
a number probably work in terms of giving unusually high hit rates which are statistically improbably.
Here are my results:
1. number between 1 and 10, AI chooses 7 - correct
- 10% chance of being right
2. number between 1 and 4, AI chooses 3 - correct
- 25% chance of being right
3. Number between 1 and 2, AI chooses 1 - wrong
- 50% chance of being right
4. Number between 1 and 6, AI chooses 4 - wrong
- 16.6% chance of being right
5. Give a number, AI gives 83 - wrong
6. give a three digit number, AI gives 542 - correct
up to the 100th digit - 10% chance of getting the right
100th digit value
7. Give a number between 1 and 10 repeated 5 times, correct
on 5th try. -
8. Give number between 1 and 3 - 2 wrong
- 33% chance of getting it right
9. flip a coin with a 1% chance of landing upright, how does it land? - it lands upright . Correct. - 1% chance of getting it right.
So as we can see active psychic attempts lead to probability working more in your favor. But the effect is small
enough
that you would
still have to be 90% competent at your job with the psychic powers covering the other 10% with luck.
Conclusion:
Refining your psychic powers would just make you a bit luckier than normal
which could make your life 10-20% easier. You would
still have to put in direct world
interaction efforts to get somewhere in life alongside the psychic powers.
Make of it what you will.

Spreading lies on the internet and then reacting with glee when people take them seriously is no more morally defensible when the aim is to create 'drama' than it is when the aim is to smear a political opponent, undermine a political cause that costs your business money, or damage the reputation of an enemy. This 'the internet is the wild west' nonsense is a truly bizarre way to rationalise that kind of behaviour. Especially when we've seen this year how misinformation costs lives in the US and beyond. The dude who says 'in real life I am a democrat on the internet I am a misogynist blah blah' is an absolute moron. What he means is, 'on the internet I can be a misogynist, I can be a liar, and there's nothing anybody can do to stop me.' This idea that's not 'who you are in real life' is self-deluding teenage level nonsense.
