Ghost Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Hey, when you travel in a plane on a long flight, you do a time travel, right? Hello jetlag Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vic vinegar Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 But what if that Chinese guy also spoke English? Would your telepathy get fragments of English translations of their thoughts if you engage them in dialect at the same time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosferatu Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Maybe by reading the mind of someone who speaks a different language, you could probably read their entire lives or something along them lines. You could learn the different language then, but then it'll start to sound like some X-Men kinda crap haha. If there's ever gonna be any form of telepathy, I'm gonna guess it's more similar to the movie Looper rather than the over the top super hero stuff.

cowboysguitars Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 He sounded like Tom Cruise rambling about Scientology. My favorite musician is trying to scam his fans with some snake oil scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if they didn't speak English than it wouldn't be translatable obviously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've always assumed telepaths would understand because they would probably be seeing language in a visual way and they would be collecting info through memories and mental pictures. Even talking about these stuffs is surreal though and it's not worth our time because Tom is just scamming everyone. It could be drugs or some mental health problems but he sounds like those people who get their head fucked up by a cult like scientology or freemasonry.

Yeah, I never thought about that but it makes sense and that makes mind reading even more impossible to achieve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlinkFloyd Posted November 4, 2017 Report Share Posted November 4, 2017 Tom is going somewhat crazy on Instagram right now. Nothing too out there but he made a post about the Joe Rogan podcast and he's responding to a lot of comments. Better check it out before he deletes the post haha.

justin88182 Posted November 5, 2017 Report Share Posted November 5, 2017 Why does every ufo picture he posts on his Instagram look terribly photoshopped. You would think with someone who claims to have so much proof would have better pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because conspiracy theorists are willing to believe basically anything and will latch on to anything - so why bother fabricating believable evidence if crappy stuff will work?
