No, but that doesn't mean you should take me seriously if I make an outrageous claim like that. You should ask me to prove it before you take it seriously.
Common sense is a relativistic anomaly. The only reason its common sense that you cant have a tangible effect upon the world using only thought, is because so many people share the same close-minded ignorance towards the world. If you think you cant do something, you wont be able to do it.

Can you prove to me that I can NOT change the world with my thoughts? I would like to see how you accomplished that.

Also... I want to publicly laugh at any of the people who make outrageous statements and then post the Wikipedia link backing their statements. Wikipedia is a nice site with some great information. However... it is not a professional reference. Anybody can change anything on that site... thats why its called "The online encyclopedia that anybody can edit." Sounds like a recipe for a solidly backed statement to me.......
