ChemE, I think most of us have a healthy skepticism, especially when it comes to Rossi, and that is always in the back of our minds, but the whole purpose is to keep an open-mind, ask ourselves 'what if.' and run with that to see where is leads. engage in discussions, see things from different perspectives.. It's all good when the overall goal is exploration, learning and thinking outside the box.
The difference between the skeptics here and those that just got flushed, rest their souls, is, just because you say you're a LENR believer doesn't make you oblivious to facts that contradict that leaning. i.e., although we feel strongly that LENR is real, and therefore there was a good chance that Rossi was on to something, we are still able to see the discrepancies and contradictions. that's *rational* skepticism. This comes about by the collective wisdom of the Collective. there are strong enough personalities in the Collective that prevent total belief taking over, and rational levels of belief/skepticism ultimately prevail. Looking forward to some interesting weeks and months ahead! -Mark From: Chemical Engineer [mailto:cheme...@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, January 23, 2012 6:48 PM To: vortex-l@eskimo.com Subject: Re: [Vo]:REMOVING RULE2 VIOLATORS, 'subscribe' blocked. Phew, I made it. I'll come clean. I am an LENR believer A Rossi Sceptic (hopefully he will hire some PR help and in the end be recognized for what he has discovered) A Defkalion hopeful - glad to hear they have opened up independent testing. That should get widespread recognition of the potential of the technology. Paradigm shift. Hopefully start of a cleaner planet. I had a dream I built an LENR reactor to heat my pool year round at any temperature I want. I think I will do that.
