you dont have to be a scientist to underatnd the concept o= proof. does massage work? not a=science question , but
some think it does. can you prove=to anyone that your intuitive abilities are repeatable. =erifiable, . probably not.
but is ok. =ith vast experience , chinese doctors can tell if someones kidneys are wor=ing properly , the eyes are a
little dull and yellow, Q=A0 its not science but a pretty good predictor. . the ot=er experiment you can try if you want
is hold their hands. wri=e down what you feel. , and afterwards have them choose =hich best describes their
charcateristics. l=did this with 200 girls. each one had to rate the accuracy of =iagnosisi on a scale of 1-10. the
results ra=ged from 3-10. however, the writ=en diagnosis was exactly the same for each, no one like the re=ults .
beliveing is more fun

I feel like it'd be good to talk it out? I say what I can do, and som=body who knows science tells me how we can
test that, until we arrive at a=solution that works both ways?

I like you,=C2* I am trying to be kind, that is not science. . if =ou make people feel better and no one

they could take a strength fi=der test, and then you could take it with empathy for them, 40=A0 there are 100 questions
see if you got the more than 80 per=ent right.

Jeffrey,
Just an additio=al thought. A vision, actually--
EFTA_R1_01553265

What if I did readings blin=folded? So I held someone's hand and felt into them. With such
limited=visual/tactile information, it would be a real test of my empathic abiliti=s. It would almost validate "the sixth
sense."
Then maybe we could compare my ability to read people with an avera=e person's ability to
read people?
Just=brainstorming here...
Very best,

Hi Jeffrey and Gino,
E=rlier today, I sat down with 15 pictures and 15 names and tried to match
t=em. It turned out to be quite a struggle -- primarily because people were =ery similar. For instance, I'd have
descriptions like this:
=br>
Shy but relatively happy on the outside
Filled wit= frustration and anxiety
Burning with rage deep down
<=r>
But out of the 15 people, that could vaguely describe 3 or 4 =hem. So my
matching ending up looking like a convoluted chart.
=div>
What I concluded was that I need a bit more help design=ng this experiment.
Ideally, rather than matching 15 names to pictures, I =ave a bunch of binary decisions (A or B). One would expect me to
get 50% r=ght. IF the people are emotionally different enough (happy v. sad, for ins=ance) I hypothesize I will do
considerably better than chance. Does that m=ke sense?

I have started to go down this road wit= my friend at NYU. Happy to discuss with
Gino as well.
And of course, happy to submit to MRI machines and the like to =igure what's
happening on that end.
Open to a=y and all thoughts. Science, clearly, is not my gift.
=div>Very best,
David

Hi Jeffrey,
Sorry it took a beat to respond.
This weekend, when I have spac= and time, I'll ask a friend to lay out some
pictures and names and se= how I do. And I'll report back what I learn.
I've been =hinking about this for a while -- and I do feel we ultimately need a
more =igorous experiment. But I like your idea, at least to start, of just givin= it a good and seeing.
Great meeting you.
