Cool story, bro.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

So according to you, electromagnetic fields do not have infinite range at ever diminishing strength, our brain and heart do not create EM fields, are not the seats of thought and emotion and EM fields do not interact with each other?
Nice island, bro.

When you use the phrase "according to you" it;s generally thought to be a good practice to then go on to describe something -according to the other guy.
Just a suggestion for the next Story-time with Ark™ moment.

It was a question, not a statement.

Sounds like you're injecting unsupported premises. You'll run out of them soon enough, I suppose.

Not always. An eloquent person can lay out their train of thought relating to intention and make it quite clear even to a total stranger, even as they explain their own actions.

I don't think we're talking about the same thing. What you're describing -is- an action we use to determine intent.
