Scientific Proof Thoughts & Intentions Can Alter The Physical World Around Us
http://themindunleashed.org/2014/01/...around-us.html
Not sure I can buy this, but it is quite interesting.
History isn’t over; it needs our consent first.
Er... the fact that I am typing this is evidence that intentions and thoughts can "affect the world around us". But if you're looking for evidence of magic, this Emoto person is not a researcher; he has a degree in international relations, but that's about it, and he doesn't publish in peer-reviewed scientific journals.
yea let's imagine private property away
"We have seen: a social revolution possesses a total point of view because – even if it is confined to only one factory district – it represents a protest by man against a dehumanized life" - Marx
"But to push ahead to the victory of socialism we need a strong, activist, educated proletariat, and masses whose power lies in intellectual culture as well as numbers." - Luxemburg
fka the greatest Czech player of all time, aka Pavel Nedved
How widely have these results been reproduced? Are my negative thought-waves hindering their acceptance by mainstream science?

Real trusty source on that shit, too. Fucking idiot quacks.
The revolutionary despises public opinion. He despises and hates the existing social morality in all its manifestations. For him, morality is everything which contributes to the triumph of the revolution. Immoral and criminal is everything that stands in its way.

Ehh, fair enough.
I've never heard of the researcher or site before, just something I saw scrolling though.

Can we ban this bullshit? If people have an objection then they can just think really hard about it and maybe they can change our minds.
“All that a well-organized secret society can do is, first, to assist in the birth of the revolution by spreading among the masses ideas corresponding to their instincts, and to organize, not the army of the revolution—the army must always be the people [—] but a revolutionary General Staff composed of devoted, energetic, intelligent and above all sincere friends of the people, who are not ambitious or vain, and who are capable of serving as intermediaries between the revolutionary idea and the popular instincts.” - Bakunin the Leninist
I first encountered this line of "research" in 2006 with the water, and the same doctor. It's amusing how widely circulated in certain circles are these extremely isolated "studies" with no signs of replication, and how they live on for years. I once moved in a circle that promoted this quack, and also loved using quantum physics to legitimise fallacies (because, obviously, anything that is possible for a sub-atomic particle must be possible for a human being!; e.g., passing through walls and such magick tricks).

I think it's enough that we can point out that Emoto's results haven't been reliably replicated, and dismiss it thusly.
Sure, this kind of pseudoscientific New Age bullshit is annoying as fuck, but censorship is not the same thing as refutation.

Does it follow that I reject all authority? Perish the thought. In the matter of boots, I defer to the authority of the boot-maker - Mikhail Bakunin
Workers of the world unite; you have nothing to lose but your chains - Karl Marx
Pollution is nothing but the resources we are not harvesting. We allow them to disperse because we've been ignorant of their value - R. Buckminster Fuller
The important thing is not to be human but to be humane - Eliezer S. Yudkowsky

I'm just glad our friend DSTC is rightly incredulous and open to our sinister materialist swaying.
edit: I dunno how to strikethrough text so I put my erroneous statement in spoiler tags. I just remembered we have some legit. members who hold to some of these wacky ideas. It's not against the rules! Sadly...

Next we'll be getting articles about energized water.

It is interesting, but it's a one-off and hence not as interesting as experiments that show that trained meditators can collapse quantum interference patterns by mentally observing the double-slit from another location, for example. There's a lot of good scientific work that's been done that's pretty much confirmed some forms of mind-matter interactions as well as a limited form of precognition/presentiment.
If you're interested, good overviews and discussions of the science can be found in the Google TechTalks by Dean Radin and Rupert Sheldrake.
Don't fall for the mistake of thinking that this type of thing is incompatible with materialism or somehow "supernatural." If it exists, then it is not supernatural and can be described by physics eventually.
"This is my test of character. There you have the despotic instinct of men. They do not like the cat because the cat is free, and will never consent to become a slave. He will do nothing to your order, as the other animals do." — Jean-Jacques Rousseau.
"The intellectual and emotional refusal 'to go along' appears neurotic and impotent." — Herbert Marcuse.
"Our blight is ideologies — they are the long-expected Antichrist!" — Carl Gustav Jung
Don't.
It really isn't.
I also saw the words "positive thinking" in that article. Positive thinking is the quack psychology equivalent of right-wingers and libertarians telling poor people to pull themselves up from their own bootstraps and that if they are poor, then it is their own fault. It attempts to fool people into thinking that there are no societal or structural causes for their predicament and that they alone have the power to change their own situation.
Positive thinking has been heavily promoted in the US (and now seems to be seeping into Europe) by many employers for obvious reasons.
I do personally believe that our thoughts and intentions can alter the physical world around us, but that is my belief in the paranormal/supernatural, I will only elaborate via PM on this, not here.
"But here steps in Satan, the eternal rebel, the first free-thinker and emancipator of worlds. He makes man ashamed of his bestial ignorance and obedience; he emancipates him, stamps upon his brow the seal of liberty and humanity, in urging him to disobey and eat of the fruit of knowledge." ~Mikhail Bakunin

It is just that it is obvious to viewers that they could have switched the rice when the cameras were off.
