Those things remind me of a brand of boiled sweets I used to buy as a kid. They were like eating little purple dinner plates

I'm willing to help their project by selling them the rights to a large allocation in the 'thought spectrum' at a knockdown price

TARC: Take All Rubes' Cash.

well according to Paris Tosen inventor, TARC stands for:

Quote

The TARC stands for “Thought Attenuated Resonance Communicator” and is powered by the electromagnetic fields surrounding the human body and is activated by bioelectrical effects.

Methinks Paris has a novel and private definition of 'attenuated', on second glance you nailed it terminal jack.

Why not turn being bat shit crazy enough to hear voices to your advantage. If you are going to hear voices they may as well be from someone you think wants to talk to you

Oh, this is just great.

I hate to be so cynical, and usually I get rather enraged at these scams, but really, if you invest in a thought phone, I don't think I have it in me to feel bad for you... It's just hilarious, that's all, perhaps in a dark sort of way...

Did he cut the bottoms off of beer bottles?

If he'll pay for the beer, I'll drink it and he can have the bottle bottoms.

I'm sending a telepathic message to him right now, we'll know it works if I get an email from him.

Skimask · « **Reply #8 on:** July 14, 2013, 07:40:23 am »

If his thought phone really works, then he should be getting a handful of calls right now and his thought-message-box is likely full!

Or maybe he's got thought-waiting?

Or if he's somewhere else, thought-forwarding?

Would you get a busy signal if he's thinking about somebody else when you tried to think about him?

How do you hang up on a thought?

What does a thought-"ring" sound like?

If a thought-phone rings in the forest, and nobody is around to hear it, did it really do any thinking of thoughts?

What happens if you dial a wrong thought-number?
Does the person at the other end hear your thoughts regardless?

Who exactly is the thought-operator?
Who runs the local thought phone company?
Are there many choices when it comes to long distance thought plans?

Are thoughts cheaper at nights and on weekends and holidays?

This sort of thing just makes IGG look like a bunch of greedy idiots who are happy to be complicit with fraudlent scammers. Kickstarter must be pissing themselves laughing.

I believe he is just trolling around.

And it's likely not a deliberate "scam". The guy probably believes this stuff, and will deliver the actual device.
It's like the golden ear brigade really can hear the difference between electrically identical cables.
And religious people really can hear the voice of god in their head.

This stuff feels as real to them as evidence based stuff does to us.

Ya think??

From his TARC web site http://www.tosen.ca/tarc.html, the very last paragraph

Quote

The TARC is designed with Stelan technology (ie interdimensional science), advanced ideas that have been adapted to suit human needs.

Why is it no surprise that he's also a 9/11 conspiracy nut?

SeanB · « **Reply #14 on:** July 14, 2013, 11:41:38 am »

Just did........bloody telemarketers again. Them and the religious nuts keep calling and leaving a message to call them, but always no return number, just withheld numbers and completely bogus ones if there.

Maybe they should spin off a new site for these morons - indiewoowoo

Most communications regulations require that a phone (including the phone network) must allow you to call police/ambulance/fire brigade at their well known numbers. The FCC will take care about the TARC :-)

I LOL'd at this part:

A little practice is required.

I'm not particularly sure why I found it more entertaining than the rest of it.

c4757p · « **Reply #20 on:** July 16, 2013, 02:33:53 am »

Because they're using it as their "get out of jail free card" with respect to "It doesn't work for me!!!" Well, did you practice enough?

Anything can be claimed possible as long as you clarify that it's not possible for skeptics.

Hopefully Verizon does not take is as exclusive, I'm with AT&T and I will not be able to get it !

Actually,we've had thought phones for years---they've just got some very clunky interfaces!
I usually think before I speak!
