Honestly, I felt a strong desire to challenge SRV as "the way" from early on. I'm fine with Farsight's position. Farsight does SRV, they don't claim that SRV is the ultimate (but would argue that it's pretty damb good). I sounded crazy when I was like "what if you just do whatever the hell you want and maybe you'll get stuff"

Well that trend is growing. TDM is a little bit toward that, and one of the guys from Hellfire club liked to do "uncontrolled remote viewing" (dave2)

Anyways, I want to hear crazy ideas. Like: "I put a camel on the table and I base everything on the camel's phonemes" - whatever.

If we just define it as getting verifiable data without knowing the target, there are endless possibilities for methods. Tell me some crazy methods if you will. There's the obvious stuff like tea leaves, tarot, etc. Give us ideas. Anything you tried outside the box?

Oh. And "I ask my AI" counts but try and elaborate if you go there.

Here's an idea I had lately: What if Pareidolia is a thing when remote viewing?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pareidolia

"Pareidolia is the tendency for perception to impose a meaningful interpretation on a nebulous stimulus, usually visual, so that one detects an object, pattern, or meaning where there is none. Pareidolia is a specific but common type of apophenia (the tendency to perceive meaningful connections between unrelated things or ideas)."

So, pareidolia essentially is the mind making deductions based on known patterns, and remote viewers of course already know that. That's not the idea. The idea is:

Make a category of targets that consist of two focuses that have nothing to do with each other. The viewer will expect the focuses to be related. Mix the targets such that the viewer can't know whether the focuses are related or not.

That way, viewers can practice to sense their own pareidolia.
