ESP is something that you either have experienced or you haven't. I have, and I think it is real.

The British biologist Rupert Sheldrake has done a number of experiments related to ESP. His website is www.sheldrake.org

Studies have generally shown that ESP success rates are about as good as is random chance.

There have seemingly been instances where it appeared to be working, but researchers can't replicate findings even with the same subjects. I suggest you study probability and statistics to understand how random chance can provide such false positives.

Yes. It's another lie. ESP is about as true as a magician's trick. The true extrasensory perception is a heightened consciousness. Beyond that you go into paranoia.

I have on one occasion convinced a small crowd that I have some magical ability to read their minds, leaving them completely shellshocked and in awe. All present agreed I couldn't possibly have any prior knowledge of what I'd said. Obviously it was a complete con, based on a conversation I'd heard somebody else have earlier, some non-magical intuition, some blind luck and the willingness of somebody who's already taken the bait to interpret anything further you say in the way you want them too. I didn't really know what I was doing and managed that. Somebody with decent people reading skills could've done a lot more. They never did find out the truth I left them to gossip about my mystical powers ?

I had a vision that they're fake.

Login to YouTube and watch James Randi videos. His foundation offers a reward for anyone who can prove they have psychic powers. The offer started at $10,000 in 1971, has been increased to $1,000,000, and has never been claimed.

I'm sure the rationalization of True Believers for this, is that Randi's conditions aren't reasonable or sympathetic, but that's exactly the point. Woo of whatever kind only works when hopefully and credulously glimpsed out of the corner of your eye; it never stands up to any actual scrutiny.

It's a bullshit term for people who are talented intuitives and cold readers.

That's a sport network but you forgot the 'N' at the end and I already knew that.
