By pure telepathy, you should be able to know this "my number". This kind of telepathy, "reading the mind" thing, is beyond our reach. At least with this particular example with the numbers. At least I think so. |
Why is it not achievable by us? I've never said that we will achieve telepathy at all. What I believe is that the ultimate scientific achievement would be telepathy, but not that we will achieve it. I doubt it a lot of time, specially because it's dificult to think of minds interacting... However, I think it like this: just like independent thoughts in 1 mind can interact, then independent minds can interact. But this is asuming there is a sort of vortex, a dimension for mind, independent of spacetime, a sort of supermind, where all rely. Some say this is god. I believe god doesn't exist so then there cannot be interaction between minds.
I like your example problem. The thing is that maybe telepathy comes out like a sort of msn network: I have to call your mind, a sort of note comes in to it that I want to communicate, and then you mentally open your mind. But this is all dificult to believe. Anyway I say telepathy woudl be the ultimate thing because it is what would make the most good things and the most bad things.
