Global Consciousness Project

I have to admit, I don't follow some of the statistics used in the GCP. I'm relying on experts in the field to decode "Random Walk" plots, some types of Latin Square analysis, and the Stouffer's statistics.

The GCP site:

Here are some independent analyses of the GCP on 9/11 (HIGHLY RECOMMENDED), they form the basis for much of my content:

I have to acknowledge Brian Dunning's take on this topic:

I hadn't seen it prior to writing this script, but he arrived at a lot of the same conclusions.

Close. It's 10:47 where I am.

I'm a"Spiritual Scientist" for sure, thus I am a Noetic Scientist!!!! :)

@mphello I've been wondering that myself, but I think the answer lies in the concept of manipulating constraints to conform to results after the initial constraints(which are meant to be immutable during the trial) are set.

how funny, i looked at MY clock when he said look at the time right now, it was 11:10

Yes, butthe c conciousness interacted with the the noosphere afterthe dissolution of the soviet union from inside the chernobyl exclusion zone ;))))))))

@mphello .. to construct artificially-intelligent robots, equipped with vision and aural perception, to analyze what pixels in their field of vision, and what sounds, go together to form a distinct object.

In fact, that is what I have urged those skeptical of UFOs to do. The ufology community is too poor to run proper scientific experiments of this kind. Then one can at least START to deal with what constitutes a SINGLE OBJECT in one's field of vision.

[mphello]

Ok, so anyway, now the non-scientist, admonished by the scientist that "evidence, observation" are the basis of science, goes out and randomly observes and collects all sorts of data.

Well, first, the problem is: how does one define one constitutes a single "datum", i.e. as a single event. As this video points out, is it everything happening in this cubic meter of space in this unit of time? How does one define what a single event is?

It seems that to do this objectively, one would need

[mphello]

My question or criticism is that if (the most respected trustworthy etc etc) scientists keep emphasizing "evidence, observation" over and over as the basis for science, that will lead to situations where non-scientists will just run out and observe and collect (random) evidence.

I should not call it "evidence", because the word "evidence" implies "evidence of something", that means, one has in mind, already, as Concord's video says, the hypothesis.

I should call it "data". Pixels, even.

[mphello]

I know I should not make any criticisms of the most rigorous scientific researchers, when there is mountains of total excrement of poor thinking, confirmation bias, misleading statements, quote mining etc etc by self-proclaimed psychics, homeopaths, creationists and AGW deniers to condemn. So, consider my question to be a PRIVATE question addressed only to scientific researchers and NOT to be an excuse by the pseudoscientists to ridicule science or scientists.
