Ok, I haven’t chimed in at the great watering hole that is SDMB for a while…but this whole debacle is a bit intriguing, facinating, and a bit to loony for me to stay away from. KGS, for a man that’s been developing a theory for ~15-20 years, you seem to not be able to coherently state the positions in which you believe. If you were to give an intelligible argument for the viewpoint of which you speak, I’m sure you’d get much more leeway. As it is to me…and I’m betting to most of the SDMB that reads through your threads, it all seems like mindless babble. As I said at the start, I’m facinated by the part of your belief that I can piece together(I’m not saying I’ll believe it, but I’ll at least take a gander). Take a day or two, write it up carefully…and then present it to the boards. For something that been in the works of your mind so long, and seems so important to you…maybe it should’ve been on paper already. As of now, it seems like something that hasn’t been given much thought. IMHO obviously. Cheers, -K ---

Ok, real life has intervened (ain’t that bitch?) and i cannot reply to this thread until at least very late tonight (after the Osbournes, at the earliest) but I _do_ want to call attention to a post I just made in the Pit thread – it’s fucking HUGE, and I didn’t want to hurt the poor hampsters. 🙂 Since the replies I’ve read so far (haven’t read the ones since my last post yet) have been generally positive, I think it is safe to do this. Ok…I’m out 'til later. ---

> [@](#): > > _posted by KGS_ > (Occam’s Razor is good, and I would agree with that, if it weren’t for visions of mine [and other people] that HAVE come true.) > [@](#): > > _posted by Loopus_ > Of course some “visions” are going to “come true.” We live in an infinite universe with infinite possibilities, so there are going to be a few coincidences. What interests me most with people who have visions is not whether they have any that come true, but what their success rate is. If only 3% of their 100s of visions come true, I’m not impressed. If it were, say, 98% of a significant sample size of predictions of random events, I would be intrigued. I’m with **Loopus** on this one. What percentage of these visions “come true”? In addition, how many “come true” along the lines of Nostradamus’s predictions (i.e. with majorly metaphorical concepts (like, for example, golden comets) subjectively interpreted to fit the favored event, rather than with straightforward unmistakable meaning). ---
