>instantly healed of a muscle injury from weightlifting by transferring that exact injury to another person Could you elaborate on that? It sounds... useful I've had exactly one experience that involved an unexplainable phenomenon but it was extremely mundane and uninteresting, and since memories fade I sometimes have to mentally slap myself into recognizing that it really did happen. But 99% of "paranormal" info is fake garbage so I don't really dig into the topic

> Could you elaborate on that? It sounds... useful Not much. It was a moderately severe strain of the intercostals on the left side of my ribcage. It’s a really unpleasant injury because it hurts badly whenever you perform an action that involves the ribs. As for the transference itself, it was a complete accident. The other person was attempting to provide some relief via manual therapy. This being a very light touch intervention, not the kind of activity that could easily cause a strain. And it worked surprisingly well. The other person then had the same debilitating injury I'd had for about a week, which was about my projected remaining recovery time. It’s very much not something I’d do intentionally. I follow what you mean by useful, but someone who did such a thing regularly would belong in a horror novel and not out among decent people. It’s practically a defining characteristic of these phenomena that we don’t know how they happen or how to consistently produce them, which makes systematic rigorous investigation difficult if not entirely impossible. I still try to view the world rationally though. It's a powerful tool for pragmatically grasping most phenomena. I'm just cognizent that it's an incomplete paradigm. Also, for what it's worth, these paranormal phenomena, or whatever you want to call them, are relatively rare.
