I know because that's what i believe in; that it's not possible to change your results on the casino just by believing you can and by willing it.

Max, Max, Max.... You accuse me of intolerance and of assuming the (im)possibility of facts based solely on my beliefs, but aren't you doing the same here?
You're assuming that i'm afraid to recognize "a truth that i can't and won't accept?". First, you're being intolerant in the way that you think, rationalize, and argument based on your absolute belief that your concept of reality is the only true one and anyone who thinks otherwise is in denial of accepting it and blind.
Have you ever considered that your concept of reality might be the mistaken one? I don't think so by the way you write and argument. So who's the intolerant here? I might be intolerant, but if that's so, so are you.

Again, contrary to what you intolerantly believe and say, if i was given such evidences, i would
certainly reconsider my paradigms and concepts of reality, make no mistake about it. While i wouldn't be convinced by one lottery winning, if i was given such evidence as you telling me that you would win the next lottery, and won, i would give your reality concepts a huge considerance and would review all my paradigms about reality. Now if you told me that you would win the next two lotteries in a row and did win them, i certainly believe in your model of reality.
So it's not a matter of "me denying the true reality because i'm afraid to see it", it's a matter of having no facts to support such theory. In the same way that i dropped religion because of no facts to support what religious people were claiming, i also see no facts to support your theory.

Yeah, means that you're watching too much matrix.

Until then though, skepticism is an okay alternative |
Exactly.
