So the Daily Mail does this article on a kid from the US who might be telepathic:

Five-year-old savant Ramses Sanguino to be studied by Dr Diane Powell | Daily Mail Online

Naturally, there are pictures, including (at least) one with a neuroscientist. The pic the Mail runs:

The caption says the mom is holding him. Not sure if that's better or worse.

There's a kid who knows what he wants.

And apparently, where to get it.

Seems to be beyond brilliant. Not sure about in IQ, but in ability to learn and repeat.

I suspect that the telepathy has more to do with an uncanny ability to "read" his mother, than actually reading her mind directly. What little I saw showed her in the same room, and he answered only when looking directly at her.

Probably more of the "sad but true" thread... but this is just nuts. What's going on in Chicago for a 9 year old to be targeted.

OH the problem is simple, it's guns. Has nothing to do with the out of control gangs. Just get rid of the guns and the gangs will stop killing people at will.

The color of my post is supposed to be purple.

The irony here? This was tweeted by the Planned Parenthood account.

What a load of crap.
Let's just shut down ALL businesses so that no one is offended. No farming. No selling. No manufacturing. Etc.

Introducing more women into the ranks of the armed forces = equality, fairness and progress.

Introducing more women to video games where they can pretend to be in the armed forces = sexist, dangerous, regressive.



The amount of mental gymnastics it must take for these people to hold these types of viewpoints is staggering.

Of course girls could never play before; they didn't have any female characters! Oh, and I'm sure you'd never find [STRIKE]a few[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]some[/STRIKE] [STRIKE]a lot[/STRIKE] almost all the ones playing as girls are really basement dwelling post adolescent perv guys trying to score with hard up basement dweller guys. Something like that would never happen on the internet. I mean, nobody ever pretends to be something different to what they are, why would they do that?

Strong, brave women fighting against the forces of evil. Can't have that. They might get ideas in their pretty little heads and like, vote, or something.

Exactly who is perpetrating the "war an women"? (yet another phrase I dislike)

Gamer-gate 2.0? It didn't end all that well last time.

Yes, damn those republicans. The republicans are definitely the subject of this story.

On a side note it was at a "veterans roundtable event in New Hampshire". Killary hates the military and really despises those that have served. Any vet that does not know this hatred Killary has for the military better wake up. I can't believe any vet would speak with Killary.

I think there's definitely a double standard there. But then we knew that.
