Global Orgasm Day

Today is global orgasm day.  Why?  Well, why not?  But the organizers do have a larger goal: "To effect positive change in the energy field of the Earth through input of the largest possible surge of human energy, a synchronized Global Orgasm."

Lest you think this is purely prurient, do note that there is an interesting scientific component.   The Global Consciousness Project  is a peculiar project run out of Princeton University that has for many years been running experiments correlating random output devices with human consciousness.  Results from 12 years of experiments show small but highly statistically significant results.

Beginning in 1998 the group started to record data from "eggs" (non-deterministic random number generators) located around the world.  The data show or seem to show higher than random correlations with "global events" such as the funeral of Princess Diana (the events are designated in advance or before examining the data).  The eggs will record whether today’s global orgasm is associated with a perturbation in the global consciousness field.

Do I believe any of this?  No.  Will I participate in the experiment?  Anything for science.

By the way, has anyone ever satisfactorily defined the concept “random”? Or did they just pick a definition out of the dictionary by dropping it on the floor and pointing to the open page blindfolded?

It’s a shame to make a serious answer, Robert, as I love the Steven Wright bit, but anyway yeah, there is quite a lot of stuff on the definition of “random”. Look into Greg Chaitin’s work on Algorithmic Information Theory, or Don Knuth’s books have good stuff on it.

Basically, something is “more random” if it’s “less predictable”. Chaitin took this to the limit by showing that there exist sequences which can’t be “predicted” by any computation. And of course some physical processes are non-deterministic at the quantum level.

PEAR’s work is dubious, to say the least– see PEAR’s Skeptic’s Dictionary entry and this critique of their earlier remote-viewing experiments for some details.

Of course, this particular experiment is quite worthy.

There’s the ‘wild self’ again.

Hmm, . . . if this was widespread, there should be a slight uptick in births 9 months from now.
