You are entitled to your opinion (and in this example you may be right). I admit it is an opinion I have come to expect from you ...but so what-it doesn't exclude all the other evidence along with the experiences.

I can't say I've seen much of the supposed evidence for this kind of thing, and if I seem closed-minded about it, it's because these kind of claims are monumental if true, and if they were true we'd have seen much clearer demonstrations than this kind of thing. The reason we haven't is almost certainly because they are just tricks only possible in the right environment with the right equipment. I doubt that old man would volunteer to test his weight-reducing force by stepping onto an independent tester's scales. No, it has to be his special, not doctored stretched paper...

Why try and convince people with that shoddy video if there's better evidence?

You don't entertain the idea that this video simply is a product of somebody acting on a personal level.There is more "concrete" evidence anyway.

The reason we haven't is almost certainly because they are just tricks only possible in the right environment with the right equipment. I doubt that old man would volunteer to test his weight-reducing force by stepping onto an independent tester's scales.

You may be right in this example of course. Like you I would like to see more evidence.

No, not really, since you said to consider the relevance of the facts. Sadly all I got from the video was that the little Chinese conman tricked that silly American anaesthetist.

 

[ethan]

Well that is up to you
Admittedly I am biased having had some experience of quigong, tai Chi and Wing Chun kung fu. That aside I was privy to a scientifc examination of the martial arts once which went on to demonstrate the amounts of measurable force involved on the body using ki or chi or whatever one would want to call it.

I've seen them 'claim' they can walk through walls, fly, live 500 years.. Whenever they've been asked to substantiate any claims they always seem to be wearing the wrong pyjamas that day. Real life is not a Jackie Chan movie.

His video about gay marriage is also entertaining. He talks about how gay marriages are as abnormal as marrying your hand . Poor kid, he really is confused.
