Hi Lynn,

It looks like an excellent program but it is available only in the UK Sad

In principle, the attendees of TED experiment were more or less clueless about how much an ox would weigh, whereas the Galton case they knew more or less how much such an ox could possibly weigh. In my case you only know my height (which may have been a mistake giving off) and my picture that I am slim. PM's may have been better too. Nevertheless, let's give a try!

Here is an example of how the conscious mind may be interfering.

That chimp is amazing!

oh sorry you can't view BBC programmes abroad. Apparently you can if you have a proxy server that makes it look like you are in UK (?)

The proxy idea is cool. I'll probably give it a try over the weekend. Thanks!

Hello all

Is subconscious same as unconscious.

Thanks

In principle the answer is no. It could be that while someone is unconscious they may have better access to the subconscious. Consciousness and its associated states are tricky to define. Many books have been written on the subject.
