The arlington institute, a non-profit think tank specialising in predictive modelling of future events, hopes to utilise paranormal powers to provide an early warning of impending disasters or other critical events, such as acts of terrorism. British psychic Chris Robinson, who claims to see the future in dreams, is working with the Institute on the project.The arlington institute (TAI), which was founded nearly 20 years ago by futurist John L. Petersen, has identified why previous attempts to harness psychic powers through premonition bureaux were unsuccessful. They were not equipped with a system of processing reports of dreams and predictions automatically, which meant “the ability to effectively analyse the input was severely limited"�.Present technology, it adds, overcomes these shortcomings. It can also give feedback to those submitting narratives, maintaining their interest in the process. So, for the first time, it has evolved a scheme -called the WHETHEReport -which it describes as an unprecedented early-warning system.The Internet will play a key role. A web portal will be used to collect anonymous "narratives of significant intuitions of all forms, including dreams, visions [and] overwhelming feelings"�.An announcement of this "revolutionary new global strategic early warning capability" explains: "TAI has constructed a plan for a new, unconventional anticipatory analysis tool which offers humanity an unprecedented potential to anticipate surprise events. WHETHEReport will function as a global sensing and analysis network -using aggregate human intuition as its intelligence source." This plan, it adds, is based on the following assumption: "The ability to image fragments of the future (particularly in dreams) seems to appear both generally in broad populations of people and specifically and more accurately in special individuals.

"Those individuals, it points out, have been used by law enforcement and intelligence communities. It adds: "The most notable perhaps is Christopher Robinson of the UK, who for 15 years worked very successfully for Scotland Yard and other British intelligence and security services anticipating IRA bombings, drug movements, etc.

good idea

Ha!

Dont you remember the episode of the x-files were that guy comes back from the future to prevent this kind of science from becoming succesful.

He states that the world were everyone knows the future..were everyone knows exactly what will happen next is hell....

That is why we dont know the future. People aren't thinking before they do things that could be extremely dangerous.

As long as they dont rely on Sylvia Brown we will all be safer!

I have a prediction!

I predict that they will only be able to identify such "predictions" after the fact. That's the way it's always worked, people re-interpreting things they said beforehand in the light of new stuff. I expect no successes beforehand.

ha hook into the internet? i think not...
"A web portal will be used to collect anonymous (yeah right) "narratives of significant intuitions of all forms, including dreams, visions [and] overwhelming feelings"
it would be just like barcoding everyone
know where we are, what we are thinking
This invention is pure evil,
It should be stoped
Great, so what? the human race become Borg?

Where's my Minority Report?




I still think theres a fundamental paradox in that simply knowing/thinking something is going to happen has the potential to change the future.

Around the years 1998-1999 there were lots of psychics making catastrophic predictions on various websites.
The channelled entities in their heads were telling them that huge chunks of North America would destroyed, usually by flood.
They would put a map on their website showing which areas would be underwater. This map was about the size of a postage stamp.
You would have to buy their book to get the full-sized map.

Hopefully the entity in each psychic's brain has retired by now.

Give me an exact date, time and location. Otherwise it's just wild generalities.

I predict something bad will happen to someone somewhere in the world with in the next 1 to 10 days.

Well the only credibility you'll get depends on how accurate you are.
