Does True Randomness Actually Exist? ( ^&*#^%$&#% )

I want to comment on your previous post. A lot of people involved in the paranormal seem to cheat. There is a problem in setting up properly conducted experiments .... in fact, there are many problems, one being that a truly dependable piece of research would be extremely expensive. I once worked out what is necessary. In the real scientific world, the experiments need to be conducted in such a way that there is systematic observation of all the participants and also of the observers and yet the experiment must be conducted in a way that actually allows the phenomena under investigation. Many experiments have been performed in order to *debunk* paranormal claims and unfortunately they may easily inhibit the phenomena, which are not repeatable at will. I worked out about ten years ago that it would cost two or three million pounds to conduct a series of experiments and nowadays it would be far more. The procedures would last a long time: maybe two years or more, because a lot of training is necessary, especially of those conducting the experiments and of those observing.

So I don't think proper experiments will ever be carried out in today's climate. Academia is notoriously difficult and full of ego conflicts and so hiring someone like me to oversee it would of course be a no-no. So an experiment is never going to be properly conducted and given that, there is a lot of temptation to cheat. Obviously if a series of experiments succeeded, the designer would become very famous and very rich.

Considering these things, the failure of experiments is to be expected and foul play is in no way an indication that these things are not genuine.

Now on to your post to me. I'm afraid that all experimental data is "anecdotal" but in many cases of course, it's highly confirmed too. But using the word anecdotal conveys obvious hostility to ideas if not to people so, if you wish to be taken seriously, never use that word.

I do understand what hypotheses are, believe it or not. Again, I'm afraid you've fallen into your own trap, which you set for yourself. I believe I made it completely clear that I was stating my own opinion all the way though this. My posts weren't specifically aimed at you and I'm sorry that you've missed the obvious in an attempt to distance yourself from your previous comments. If you were prone to severe mood swings, I would understand, because they (or something!) show in your comments and always have done. Never mind. Please try to continue to be positive. I know it's a struggle but you don't need to impress other people. Only me.

Incidentally, your use of the word "anecdotal" is very telling because it indicates that you attach greater relevance to what goes on in the environment you're familiar with. In such an environment everybody carefully builds up a body of evidence intended to show that he or she is a trusted and able servant of academia. This is irrespective of the fact that a lot of dishonesty and ego-games occur. In my environment, if I meet a person and talk about this subject I can tell if the person is speaking the truth. You see, we're operating in different paradigms. You can't easily tell if someone is speaking the truth and I don't have a host of publications to my name. Nevertheless, I have met many people who know, just as I know, that the reality of the paranormal is true. Really there is no difference between our environments in terms of the way communication occurs. It's just that on the subject of the paranormal, your environment fails. It can't operate satisfactorily. Hence all the failed experiments etc. People ought to know better. 

we can't all be perfect.

Opti - u 2 have fallen victim of misunderstanding by labeling me as “ going for determinism” which is completely incorrect an not what I’ve written. Because the next moment in time is fixed does not mean it is determined or can be predicted.

Perhaps becoming familiar with dependent origination would clarify better than I.

Also - because things are never determined does not mean they can ever be truly random.

Those concepts do not accurately explain the nature of our world. Reality does not work on such a simple plane of if not this - then that is the only other explanation.

The greatest and what appears to be the last frontier for Science to study is Time.

Much is taken for granted thinking we posses an understanding. Truth is we know very little (scientifically) except how to make elaborate measuring devices. 
But the true nature of Time has been barely scratched and until it’s true relationship with Space and Matter are revealed, we’ll remain behind a curtain, wearing the same blinders looking in the same ole direction.

The example of healing with thought is excellent. Science makes the best of two things- unbiased observation and accurate measurements.

The phenomena can be observed - but as yet remains unmeasured- hence we have those who will not believe in the possibility and label all such as paranormal, imagined and non existent.

But as science has forever demonstrated- what is observed to be real can be measured with the right tools. 
My post on neuroplasticity is relevant - rewiring the brain by training your thoughts might seem impossible or p/n - except for it has been measured and quantified.

If this exists - that exists

if this ceases to exist - that no longer exists

The matter is not one of which came 1st, what caused what or finding what is thought to represent an origin.

Everything is interconnected. No true origins exist, no single causes, yet new phenomena comes into existence. Similar to the birth/death rhythms of Life itself.

Well, let's try to get to the bottom of this .... what's the difference between saying "the next moment in time is fixed" and the next moment is determined. Also, when you say "the next moment **in time** is that a redundancy? Since moments are always about time, why write "in time"? What do you mean about a moment being fixed? Do you mean that somehow time is fixed or do you mean that situations in the universe are fixed?? What does fixed mean?

Time is the inverse of rate of change. Therefore it doesn't really exist.

it certainly is a false foundation

Logically speaking Eternity only IS.

Time does not behave as if each moment is a singularity. Time is seamless. “Moment” is used as description of the present. A “next moment” does not exist. The terminology was used to convey what is traditionally thought - that Time is linear with a beginning and end- which it is not.

Time is and exists all at the same time is the theory. An all encompassing blanket.

 It’s all interwoven. The topics behaving similarly.

They exist. 

and can’t be broken down to single moments or specific causes/ certainly no event of origin. 

randomness can occur upon force as in the OP and doesn't matter the distribution so long as the die is perfect. however, to speak of randomness in a general sense and having to do with nature, you could probably say that there is a dependency for everything.

The mind insists differently having been conditioned from birth. The culprit is the concept - duality. Things are either/or, up/down, right/left, random/determined, beginning/ending - since the world is not observed to behave one way - it has to behave in the opposite. 

Perhaps fixed portrays they wrong image- being associated with D and reading too much into the term. 
Things happen as they do because- 

its their nature 

not having anything to do about D

...yeah and it’s foundation though is false because Eternity is a reality. It’s a structure we’ve accepted and live by, correct.

                       S 

Stands for spending and service. Money is like blood; it must flow. Hoarding and holding on to it causes sludging. In order to grow, it must flow. Otherwise it gets blocked and, like clotted blood, it can only cause damage.

Money is life energy that we exchange and use as a result of the service we provide to the universe. And in order to keep it coming to us, we must keep it circulating.

That M, or, did you say S?

.....ah. $crew $... Had we never invented it’s sad  h o l d  that’s placed ridiculous captivity on our civilization we never would’ve lost sight of our true heritage, removing wars, greed, homelessness etc. etc. etc. and be far beyond the so needed advancement of our present sad shackles to it’s patheticness.

The greatest and what appears to be the last frontier for Science to study is Time.

omg...there are gobsa unsolved physics issues alone that in our lifetimes we will not solve. I repeat....will not come to completely describe let alone fully u/s.

Go on beer root..
