Funny how you only partially quoted him and did not mention "open minds- open doors". You do know he teaches a form of CTE or Same Aim right to those interested?
I love it when people quote partial posts and make assumptions.

That's goddam exactly right! If somebody would like a reminder that ANYTHING can happen in the world, they need only look at this thread closely enough to understand what's in it. That NUMBERS of people can make themselves believe ANYTHING, and then RIP AND TEAR at anyone who would try to "take the idea" from them.
It's actually friggin' about as terrifying and depressing as it gets. It's actually scary to think what can BE IN PEOPLE'S MINDS who are just out there walking around, loose.
....and it's weirdly funny to think that, no matter HOW SICK somebody's mind may be...there're always some guys who will find a way to make a buck off it
GMT you are plain and simply a DRAMA QUEEN , You must not be happy in life. Hmmmmm wonder why :killingme: And the reason nothing has been learned in this thread, Is because that was not the threads intent. I have not seen anyone trying to explain anything to you. PJ is an old pro at devils advocate .

That is PJ,s style . To mis-quote and present things out of context .
He is a pro at that too
More lies and stupid statements. I'd call you an idiot but that would be an insult to stupid people everywhere. When you get a chance please go back to posts #1809, #1814 and #1825 in your silly thread. I don't know who you think you were responding to but it sure looks like it was me. Maybe you were "delusional" at the moment you hit the send button.:killingme:
Ugh, it's just too easy sometimes.
Sorry if I've responded to you and forgot about it. I'll tell you the truth: It's kinda PAINFUL for me to actually think about and remember details of CTE and CTE advocates--and to see their emotional attachment to CTE. Yeah, it's stuff that I really prefer not to hold in my mind.
The key thing about you that I DO remember is the "on Dr Dave's page then you removed your video" situation. For me it exposed the emotional nature of your connection to CTE.
The one I'm REALLY depressed about is Dave Segal. The amount of psychic energy he has invested in the delusion of CTE is going to cause a TERRIBLE letdown for him if he ever allows himself a glimpse of reality.
My recommendation for the recovery process for CTE believers:
Step #1: Realize it's only some silly purported AIMING SYSTEM, among many aiming systems, for ONE UNIMPORTANT GAME: Pool.
It's not really such a big deal!
If you could let that sink in a bit, then you might find it easier to develop a calm and rational view of CTE--and begin to let a little reality pervade your considerations of the topic.

The debate in this thread reminds me of this short video clip.
That is an amazing clip.
What's really bizarre about this silly CTE thread is why GetMeThere has posted over 300 times in this thread. GMT persists in trying to tell people that CTE doesn't work when he hasn't even tried to learn or use it.
If CTE really doesn't work, then it's to GMT's competitive advantage to encourage people to use a system that doesn't work.
Arguing about CTE is like arguing over religion. If people want to believe in it, then who are you to deride them for their beliefs? If people want to learn and use CTE, then that's their choice.

You know, the real reason nothing has been learned by CTE believers in this thread is that what's necessary to learn is TOO EASY!
Another problem is that, initially, I wanted to be careful: Maybe there WAS something to CTE that I didn't know about.
I'll admit it took me nearly 2000 posts to become CERTAIN that CTE was COMPLETE and PURE nonsense.
If I could go back, I would emphasize from the beginning the fact that CTE doesn't AIM at anything--that it doesn't even utilize information about what to aim at. Perhaps if you guys had seen that repeated 2000 times then it might have begun to sink in a little bit by now.
Since POOL is so unimportant ,Why not sped your time elsewhere?
We will miss you .....NOT:speechless:
No of your write ups have helped anyone.
What is it that you don't think we are aiming at?
Now that's what's bizarre about this thread: the number of people who truly believe that what you have said is something like "simple, good, common sense."
Like, if I and my friends came to your house and INSISTED that eating mud each day will prevent colds. That neither I nor my friends had had a cold in YEARS. And that you are a NAYSAYING BRUTE if you say you don't even want to TRY eating mud everyday, and that you will ignore and dismiss our testimony WITHOUT EVEN TRYING to eat mud everyday, at least for a year or two, to SEE FOR YOURSELF WHETHER IT WORKS OR NOT!!
AND THAT I HAVE FRIENDS WHO WILL SELL YOU THE RIGHT MUD!! And if you DO get a cold, they will REFUND YOUR MONEY ON THE SPOT!
You'll probably get your wish today. I have some other things I want to work on for the next couple of days.
I won't be stopping permanently, though. We ALL can be deluded about things. It's USEFUL to see how and why people FORM delusions, and that they hold them so TIGHTLY. Any thoughtful person would understand that there is some use in seeing and understanding the phenomena here--about delusion, those who promote it, those who SEEK it, those who lose their souls to it, and those who profit from it by exploiting the insufficiencies of others.
The more you post, the more you sound like a Internet troll. :grin:
OK. It just can't quite penetrate to you. But I'll try to say it, short and sweet:
You're not aiming at the pockets.
We KNOW that because of Dave Segal's video insisting that you can pocket balls without AIMING at them.
CTE doesn't use EXACT information about the location of the pockets, therefore CTE can't EXACTLY pocket balls. Information doesn't arise from nothing (and, in fact, in this case, the ACTUAL source of the information is the experience of the player--and NOT the methodology of "CTE").
Did we learn a new word in class yesterday? delusion
Actually, I don't think you have. It has been my experience that people who can form STRONG delusions have never themselves formed a clear picture in their minds of the phenomenon.
Again, that's another reason for my interest: To better LEARN from you what to avoid in myself.
I have profited from it. This is not hearsay. I have won more BIG matches
and more money in the last year, Than I ever have playing by feel, all put together
Of course I am going to stand behind it. I am a threat to beat about anyone in a set . As I have the top players where ever I gone in the last year . And I played 20 yrs on feel .
Well...that's good. Nobody can deny you your personal experience.
But it's just like my "eating mud prevents colds" example: ANOTHER PERSON, hearing of your success, STILL has to ask themselves whether YOU YOURSELF are accurate in your opinion of what actually led to your success.
In this case it's trivially easy to see that CTE doesn't offer aiming utility. So an objective person has to conclude that SOMETHING ELSE is actually what has helped you to win tournaments.
The history of sports, in particular, is FILLED with this kind of story--people winning IN SPITE of what they do, or think they're doing. Life in general is filled with this kind of story.
The person who ISN'T you--if they really want to GET SOMEWHERE--always has to try to figure out what has REALLY helped you win tournaments. It could be what you think; and it might not be. A person has to think and decide.
