190 Non-Contact Sports
I love the composition of this strip, Elisa is really knocking these comics out of the park! (You can let her know that on Twitter: @ElisaWikey)
Thanks to all of our Kickstarter backers, Elisa was able to quit her second job to draw a Carbon Dating comic strip each day. However, the Kickstarter fund is dwindling. If you missed the Kickstarter campaign, you can help support Elisa and daily comics by supporting us on Patreon! Help us keep making fun of people like this:

There have been times I have been left reeling by the depth of someone’s stupidity … does that count as “being knocked out by their mind”? 😀
How about when I leave a customer dazed and confused by the quick ramble of techno jargon I just launched at them?
“What do you want to study?”
“I wanna learn to blow shit up with my mind.”

You ever watch the movie “Rubber”? It’s a movie about a car tire named Robert which blows up stuff with it’s mind.
I’ve studied martial arts for years and I love doing so. There is such a variety of benefits for practitioners. So when I see stuff like this I just feel disappointed in people.
I will make one positive comment on this. A solid strike to the side of the neck like at 1:25 can stun someone. I’ve experienced this but the effects were not as dramatic of course but I’ve seen close. As for the rest of this I don’t even know what to say.
I have 12 years of experience and I’ve met some of the best in the world. If this was possible I would hope I would seen it by now.
The strike to the side of the neck targets the carotid sinus, which temporarily stops the flow of blood to the brain resulting in unconsciousness. The rest of it is just…silly.
Those vaccinate fear mongers are funny. And really dangerous.
Sometimes it seems educating people doesn’t work. Sometimes it feel like just making fun them works….

Making fun of them doesn’t — studies literally show that making fun of them entrenches their belief. Don’t be a jerk. 🙂
I’m surprised by all the nay-sayers here. His flawless techique certainly worked on me – even at this distance I was stunned into silence. I’m definitely not going to watch this again unless I have trained paramedics in attendance. I think you should actually warn people before watching this video just in case this level of stupidity is contagious.
I find that the most effective way to knock out an opponent with one’s mind is to use the mind to send a series of electrical impulses down the pathways that lead to the muscles in one’s arm, which causes them to tense and untense in a sequence that uses the bones in one’s arm, hand, and shoulder as levers against each other to lift the arm upward and forward and pull the thumb down against the activation button of the Taser that one just pressed to the aggressor’s neck.
