Mr. Gershom Gale, HAB Theory and your forum was one of the only results that came up.

Thank you for allowing us fans of politically incorrect but interesting theories to post here.

Speaking of interesting theories, how many of you know about the case of "Hans the Horse" who was able to smoke any IQ or aptitude test in the German language?

I heard about Hans the Horse in a Psychology 240 night class.


Hans the horse was not a "clever" calculator, but his story is important to human psychology because of the "Clever Hans effect," which demonstrates how an observer can unintentionally cue a subject's behavior through subtle, unconscious signals. When Hans was asked a question, he would tap his hoof, and stop when he detected a subtle, involuntary cue—like a slight head nod or change in posture—from the human questioner who knew the answer. Hans was a master at reading these human non-verbal cues, not performing mental arithmetic.

My theory is that horses, may in fact be the four dimensional space - time continuum manifestation of "Cherubs."

Cherubs are a species of "angel" that can go all the way up to the place where three of them overshadowed the Throne of The Ancient of Days who Messiah Yeshua -Jesus stated was actually doing all of the miracles that happened around him while he was merely human.

One of these "Cherubs" fell and got distracted off into dark and pessimistic psychological research about seventy miillion years or so ago and had full gone "Mad Scientist" mode, by about sixty five million years ago, [according to near death experiencer Robert Marshall who was brain dead for forty four hours anyway]?


This theory does actually fit with Chapter thirteen of "Stephen Hawking's Universe" that was entitled The Anthropic Principle.

For now I must leave you with the link into the "Clever Hans Effect."


Clever Hans (German: der Kluge Hans; c. 1894 – c. 1916) was a horse that appeared to perform arithmetic and other intellectual tasks during exhibitions in Germany in the early 20th century.

In 1907, psychologist Oskar Pfungst demonstrated that the horse was not actually performing these mental tasks, but was watching the reactions of his trainer. The horse was responding directly to involuntary cues in the body language of the human trainer, who was entirely unaware that he was providing such cues.<a href="Clever Hans - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a> In honour of Pfungst's study, this type of artifact in research methodology has since been referred to as the Clever Hans effect and has continued to be important to the observer-expectancy effect and later studies in animal cognition. Pfungst was an assistant to German philosopher and psychologist Carl Stumpf, who incorporated the experience with Hans into his further work on animal psychology and his ideas on phenomenology.<a href="Clever Hans - Wikipedia"><span>[</span>2<span>]</span></a>

During the early twentieth century, the public was especially interested in animal intelligence owing in large part to Charles Darwin's recent publications. The case of Clever Hans was taken to show an advanced level of number sense in an animal.

I'm going to need a couple of more bong hits to make sense of that. Welcome to the forum. :thumbsup:
 
Given what Jinnyj said yesterday about giving everyone a chance !! however I think this one may be a refused to race 🤣 🤣 🤣
 
I seem to recall I backed a runner once that fell named Cherub, think it was at Plumpton.

Welcome to this universe DPT, in comparison to Stephen Hawking’s it is going to be off the scale; fourth dimensional and beyond.

One of the reasons I do not frequent bookies shops anymore as they are littered with oddballs.

There's a football bet I occasionally do and the only way for me to do it is to visit a betting shop.

I make sure my visits both to bet and, when I cop, collect are first thing in the morning so, with any luck, the only person in the shop besides me is the staff member taking my bet and/or paying me out.

Happens regularly - the lady ones are the worst, all wearing Julia Wandelt masks and wanting me to sign their packets of chocolate hob nobs, I often don't get home until nearly kick off time.

I've been on a journey in terms of my opinion on TheHobbitsReturn.

I initially thought he was affable and harmless, then I decided he was tedious and clearly entrenched on (and immovable from) his Introduce Yourself thread, then I think Slim said he spoke on the phone to him and reckoned he was alright, but maybe I dreamed that as Slim later seemed to become a critic and by then I'd reached my own general conclusion these one-agenda newcomers who just want to post paper trade bets, never proactively engage with others on other threads, and seem even more self absorbed than, well, ME!, are best ignored altogether.
 
Be careful that this forum does not go the way of another one that I got banned from. They were so anally retentive that they made it into a three stage set up. Hoi polloi, accepted members and The Sanctum Sanctorum. They were so suspicious of any new arrivals that it was embarrassing.

There was one particularly obnoxious character that got me banned. He insisted on telling everybody how clever he was and we plebs had no idea. Potential members were pounced on immediately and expected to kow tow.

They let you and me in here, Walsey, so I don't think standards can be that high.
