I'm starting a school that isn't a school, where I will teach people in a language I dont speak, also I'll b hiring my friends from another country which doesn't know the language either.
Primary challenges are: nobody wants to give money for this.

A school but not a school. Weren't you reading?

It should be noted that the number he's asking for is just short of $5900 too.

Kill me.

I'm afraid my psychokinetic gifts aren't up to that.

experimented using PRNG's for decades and the results show that humans are able to mentally influence the PRNG to become far less random and humans are able to correctly predict the exact moment the PRNG becomes more random or less random. (Pretty geeky and cool right?)

Biggest fucking load of shit I ever read. PRNGs are completely deterministic since they always produce the same set of numbers from the same seed. What scientists have likely found is that humans dupe themselves into believing they can influence the PRNG due to confirmation bias. PRNGs aren't actually random at all, so they can't be influenced to be "more random or less random". The only way to affect the outcome of a PRNG would be to literally mentally flip the bits inside your computer memory. And then you wouldn't even need to use a PRNG, people could literally flip the bits in their graphics card's memory to prove that they can psychically influence computers.

All this app is doing is generatings a series of numbers from 1-6 (simulated NON RANDOM dice rolls), then you get to guess the number. Now, you'll be right 1 in 6 times on average. What does that mean? It means 50% of people will get it right less than average, and 50% of people will get it right more than the average. So you can just say "wow, you got it right more than 1 in 6 times! You're psychic! ... to literally 50% of test takers. A basic confidence scam.

this is kind of how slot machines work, your subconscious thinks it can work out a pattern and tells you to keep trying for more information, almost every spin displays an almost jackpot which creates confirmation bias that helps the brainwashing, you think you have some control, even if consciously you "know" that it's all chance. It's not chance anyway, the whole thing is set up in a pattern designed to create small wins frequently enough to help provide rewards for continued play.
Dopamine is involved. Hell that's how most mobile or pay to win games make their profit.

"Sweeaboo" is a hilarious term that I can use alongside "teeaboo" and "Koreaboo" now. Thanks.
