Thank you for the "amazing." But the rest of it: that is a misrepresentation. I am not saying You must Believe. I am saying some data is on Twitter and you can look at it. It seems some people do not do that. It seems some people cannot see past their confirmation bias.

I am saying remain open, remain curious, do not prosecute a confirmation bias, especially not on another, do not think that justifies you to be cruel to another. I posted my precognitive data on the Tonga event. There is nothing there that warrants cruelty. I am saying be kind tolerant and charitable in your responses. Do not assume the world must conform to your own understanding or belief of it.

There is much in the world which exists beyond your understanding. And that is okay. I do not understand how predata works. I do not understand any 'mechanism' for it. But I know how to do it. I am saying ignorance gives you no right to cruelty. Perchance it is that which helps people to so much fear and anger about this. There is a slice of the world which they know naught about, and within their existing beliefs they cannot conceive its existence, so they attack the idea and anyone suggesting it with all their cruelty. Perchance that explains but not excuses the cruelty: the wrath of the stubbornly ignorant?
