And the GP's point is that this technique is little more than a focusing meditation for an experienced tracker.
- ceejayoz 5y agoIf that's the mechanism, we should figure out ways of meditating that don't involve charlatans or $60k fake devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ADE_651).

- josefx 5y agoAthletes that win spend ungodly sums on performance aids which have scientific basis, however getting caught would get them disqualified so they will pretend to have other tricks up their sleeves. For the police this is called parallel construction where they use some highly illegal means to get information and then hire a guy with a stick to "find" the corpse officially.

- ceejayoz 5y agoAthletes don't have the power to detain, arrest, or shoot me. If the local football player wants to use a dowsing rod in search of treasure, go for it. If the local cops want to dig up my backyard because they got a hit off one, they can fuck off.
