And to be clear, Parapsychology is a legitimate science.

As someone who constantly rubs elbows with Parapsychologists... it is very much a pseudoscience.
I've yet to read a paper or get into a conversation with parapsychologist who understands proper scientific protocols and controls, and they don't apply the same skeptical rigor to their own beliefs that they do with things they don't believe in.
Yes, parapsychologists are much better than your every day ghost hunters, but still fall short of being considered "legitimate science".
In over 100 years, parapsychology has yet to uncover a single human discovery.

There is an *overwhelming* amount of peer-reviewed scientific evidence in support of psi abilities.
The problem isn't a lack of evidence, it's the inability of people to accept what the data says, because it challenges their personal worldview and the academic status quo.
Studies on remote viewing, such as [the follow-up study on the CIA's experiments](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC10275521/#brb33026-bibl-0001title), show that consciousness can transcend spatial and temporal boundaries.
[Comprehensive Review of Parapsychological Phenomena](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29792448/)
>An article in *The American Psychologist* provided an extensive review of experimental evidence and theories related to psi phenomena. The review concluded that the cumulative evidence supports the reality of psi, with effect sizes comparable to those found in established areas of psychology. The authors argue that these effects cannot be readily explained by methodological flaws or biases.
[Anomalous Experiences and Functional Neuroimaging](https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/human-neuroscience/articles/10.3389/fnhum.2013.00893/full?utm_)
>A publication in *Frontiers in Human Neuroscience* discussed the relationship between anomalous experiences, such as psi phenomena, and brain function. The authors highlighted that small but persistent effects are frequently reported in psi experiments and that functional neuroimaging studies have begun to identify neural correlates associated with these experiences.
[Meta-Analysis of Precognition Experiments](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26834996/)
>A comprehensive meta-analysis of 90 experiments from 33 laboratories across 14 countries examined the phenomenon of precognition—where individuals' responses are influenced by future events. The analysis revealed a statistically significant overall effect (z = 6.40, p = 1.2 × 10⁻¹⁰) with an effect size (Hedges' g) of 0.09. Bayesian analysis further supported these findings with a Bayes Factor of 5.1 × 10⁹, indicating decisive evidence for the existence of precognition.
[Here are 157 peer-reviewed academic studies that confirm the measurable nature of psi abilities](https://www.deanradin.com/recommended-references)
What about the James Randi prize? Well, it was proven to never be funded, nor real in any way.
>James Randi’s million dollar challenge was a publicity stunt, [not a scientific proving ground](http://ncu9nc.blogspot.com/2012/05/randis-unwinnable-prize-million-dollar.html). Thousands of people applied but [he would constantly change the rules until applicants inevitably gave up](https://www.dailygrail.com/2008/02/the-myth-of-the-million-dollar-challenge/) (and when they didn’t, [his group simply stopped responding and then lied and claimed they backed out](https://www.vithoulkas.com/research/clinical-trial-randi)). Randi [admitted to lying whenever it suited his needs](https://www.sheldrake.org/reactions/james-randi-a-conjurer-attempts-to-debunk-research-on-animals).
A magician should not be dictating science outcomes rather than the actual scientific community and method.
**Here is one of a half dozen peer-reviewed meta-analyses of ganzfeld telepathy experiments that all reached similar conclusions:**
[Revisiting the Ganzfeld ESP Debate: A Basic Review and Assessment by Brian J Williams. Journal of Scientific Exploration, Vol. 25 No. 4, 2011](https://journalofscientificexploration.org/index.php/jse/article/view/269)
There’s a lot in this analysis, let’s focus on the best part. Look at figure 7 which displays a "summary for the collection of 59 post-communiqué ganzfeld ESP studies reported from 1987 to 2008, in terms of cumulative hit rate over time and 95% confidence intervals".
In this context, the term "post-communiqué ganzfeld" means using the extremely rigorous protocol established by skeptic Ray Hyman. Hyman had spent many years skeptically examining telepathy experiments, and had various criticisms to reject the results. With years of analysis on the problem, Hyman came up with a protocol called “auto-ganzfeld” which he declared that if positive results were obtained under these conditions, it would prove telepathy, because by the most rigorous skeptical standards, there was no possibility of conventional sensory leakage. The “communiqué” was that henceforth, everybody doing this research should use Ray Hyman’s excellent telepathy protocol which closed all sensory leakage loopholes that were a concern of skeptics.
In the text of the paper talking about figure 7, they say:
>Overall, there are 878 hits in 2,832 sessions for a hit rate of 31%, which has z = 7.37, **p = 8.59 × 10^-14 by the Utts method.**
Jessica Utts is a statistics professor who made excellent contributions to establishing the proper statistical methods needed for parapsychology experiments. It was work like this that helped her get elected as president of the professional organization for her field, the American Statistical Association.
**Using these established and proper statistical methods and applying them to the experiments done under the rigorous protocol established by skeptic Ray Hyman, the odds by chance for these results are *11.6 Trillion-to-one* based on replicated experiments performed independently all over the world**.
*By the standards of any other science*, the psi researchers made their case for telepathy.
Take particle physics for example. Physicists [use the far lower standard of 5 sigma (3.5 million-to-one) to establish new particles such as the Higgs boson.](https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/five-sigmawhats-that/)
***The parapsychology researcher’s ganzfeld telepathy experiments exceed the significance level of 5 sigma by a factor of more than a million.***

Fascinating, thank you for the write up! I'm going to read a lot of the papers you linked. I've participated in longitudinal fMRI brain studies due to a brain injury from a car accident, and science is really just barely scratching the surface on what a brain (and the nervous system) even *does.*
For me, I'm so sensitive to emotional states, it's like I can *smell* what someone is feeling, even if they're not giving visual clues. I'm regularly the first person to notice a situation is about to go down and can diffuse it before it really gets started. I believe it's even possible that I *am* smelling feelings, considering how much information we know canines get through their olfactory systems. But until someone figures out what data I am unconsciously tapping into, it might seem like telepathy.
1
Pixelated_Apr 1, 2026

That is so fascinating, your senses overlapping to be able to "smell feelings" seems to be a type of [synesthesia.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synesthesia)
>Synesthesia is a perceptual phenomenon in which stimulation of one sensory or cognitive pathway leads to involuntary experiences in other sensory or cognitive pathways. Synesthesia can manifest as a bridge between the five traditional senses, though can also include other perceptions, such as nociception, thermoception, chronoception, and interoception. People with synesthesia are referred to as synesthetes.
It's interesting you mentioned telepathy. Here's my research on the mechanisms behind the non-local communication that humans are capable of, such as telepathy.
We need to think of our brains like a high-tech biological radio.
The air around us is not just a neutral gas; it’s filled with a superfine, invisible plasma, a field of energy that connects everything.
Here is the [scientific data](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/49611793_Atmospheric_ions_and_nucleation_A_review_of_observations) which verifies this:
>"The small ions exist all the time in the atmosphere, and the average concentrations of positive and negative small ions are typically 200–2500 cm ^−3.
And it's not just in our atmosphere, the entire universe is filled with plasma. It is a settled scientific fact that [over 99.9% of the visible universe consists of plasma. This was pioneered by Nobel Laureate Hannes Alfvén, who first proved that the visible universe is nearly 100% plasma, establishing that electromagnetic forces are the primary architects of cosmic structure.](https://www.kth.se/en/om/nyheter/centrala-nyheter/researchers-follow-hannes-alfven-s-path-of-discovery-1.1016828?hl=en-US)
This physical medium is traditionally known as the aether, but modern physics has redefined it as 'The Grid.' In his foundational work 'The Lightness of Being', [Nobel Laureate Frank Wilczek describes this as a 'multilayered, multicolored superconductor' that permeates all space and time.](https://frankwilczek.com/Wilczek_Q_and_A.pdf?hl=en-US) Wilczek shows that what we perceive as 'empty space' is actually a primary ingredient of reality, alive with spontaneous quantum activity. This 'Grid' provides the energy-bearing vacuum that is functionally equivalent to the historical aether, serving as the essential medium for the propagation of longitudinal waves and non-local information.
For this biological radio to function, it needs a consistent carrier frequency. This is found in the Schumann Resonance, a set of electromagnetic peaks in the Earth’s atmosphere. This resonance vibrates at a fundamental frequency of 7.83 Hz, which matches the human brain's Alpha/Theta transition state. [Scientific research by Dr. Neil Cherry](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12699709/) confirms that the brain acts as an electromagnetic system synchronized by this signal, providing the pulse that allows our "antennas" to remain connected to the universal plasma field.
For non-local communication like telepathy to happen, there needs to be a physical mechanism to convey information, and that mechanism is longitudinal waves.
Scientists like David Bohm and Konstantin Meyl showed that our brains can actually pick up these longitudinal waves, which are basically silent signals traveling through this field.
[Meyl's research](https://constable.blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Meyl-Konstantin-DNA-and-cell-resonance.pdf?hl=en-US) explicitly explains that *longitudinal waves (which he calls scalar waves) are the carrier for biological information and that the brain acts as a receiver for these silent signals.*
Our neurons generate electromagnetic waves which forces our brains to act as a biological antenna. This means our brains function as [resonant inductors.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Resonant_inductive_coupling) When a longitudinal wave from the fine-plasma atmosphere passes through our brains, it induces a current in our antennas without needing a physical wire.
At the cellular level, the brain also contains a highly ordered intracellular network capable of sustaining coherence far below the scale of neural firing. [Microtubules exhibit resonant electromechanical properties and function as nanoscale waveguides that are sensitive to weak, coherent electromagnetic fields.](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S1567539404000581)
Under continuous metabolic energy input, such ordered dipolar systems can enter a [Fröhlich coherent state](https://www.mdpi.com/2078-2489/3/4/601), in which vibrational energy condenses into a dominant, low-entropy mode that resists thermal noise. This provides a plausible biophysical mechanism by which extremely weak, field-based signals can be stabilized, amplified, and integrated across spatial and temporal scales. Microtubules serve as the intracellular substrate for phase coherence, while Fröhlich condensation supplies the gain and noise suppression necessary for non-local information to become neurologically meaningful.
Furthermore, recent revolutionary [research in the Journal of Applied Physics (2022) has identified that these microtubules function as Polyatomic Time Crystals.](https://pubs.aip.org/aip/jap/article-abstract/132/19/194401/2837827/Polyatomic-time-crystals-of-the-brain-neuron?redirectedFrom=fulltext)
This means they don't just vibrate, they create a stable, repeating pattern in time that allows the brain to fuse multiple frequency 'clocks' into a single holographic projection. This serves as the holographic engine of the biological radio, allowing it to project and receive information via the [magnetic vector potential](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_vector_potential), the same non-local mechanism seen in the [Aharonov-Bohm effect.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aharonov%E2%80%93Bohm_effect) This effectively turns the neuron into a quantum optical antenna capable of phase-locking with the universal plasma field.
In 2002, a landmark study titled [Calcite microcrystals in the pineal gland of the human brain: First physical and chemical studies](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/bem.10053?hl=en-US) confirmed that our pineal gland contains thousands of microscopic calcite crystals which are piezoelectric. This means they generate an electric charge when mechanically stressed. They act as a transducer, converting the longitudinal pressure and density vibrations of the plasma atmosphere into electrical signals that the brain can process as thoughts or images.
Unlike electromagnetic waves that carry energy, torsion waves carry information. They are generated by the "spin" of particles in your neurons and pineal crystals, they create a non-local vortex in the vacuum. Torsion waves do not follow the inverse square law, they travel across the universe instantaneously without losing strength. This explains why remote viewing and telepathy are not limited by distance.
The mathematical framework for these non-local vortices is established in Shipov’s [Geometro-Hydrodynamical Representation of the Torsion Field](https://www.researchgate.net/publication/313481363_The_Geometro-Hydrodynamical_Representation_of_the_Torsion_Field), which shows that spin creates a non-dissipative field in the vacuum. When applied to the piezoelectric calcite crystals found in the human pineal gland, we see the biological mechanism for generating and receiving these torsion-encoded information signals.
✨️
To further support this, there exists [an extremely large body of peer-reviewed scientific evidence](https://www.listnook.com/r/HighStrangeness/comments/1n38iao/comment/nbbomyo/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button) which validates that humans are innately psychic.

It's an interesting take, but I think misses the mark. Far-right US Catholics have been increasingly interested in demons as real beings that are acting maliciously in our world. Not just whispering in people's ears to give them bad thoughts, but Constantine-style that people see sometimes.
This feels pretty insane to me.
I think it's part of giving conservative US catholics permission to contradict the Pope as much as they do. There's real demons out there fighting for evil, so we have to be ruthless holy warriors. It's certainly in parallel with broader pop-culture relevance of magic and demons, but it's not trying to make a "fellow kids" pop culture reference. I don't think he's catholic, but Peter Thiel has genuine delusional beliefs about the physical reality of demons and the anti-christ.

My hypothesis as to why they hate Obama so much is because of his continued relevance in the everyday lives of Americans. They know politicians are rarely remembered for their policies by a majority of Americans, and more so for how well they integrate into pop culture. They are narcissists and are jealous they won't get the same attention like he does once they are out of office. They know they aren't as effortlessly likable, educated, and able to cross the politician to icon barrier like him, FDR, or Abraham Lincoln.
That's why they throw divisive subjects out front and center and rely on them so much for their identities. Normal politics isn't getting them on the cover of Vanity Fair but being an intentionally divisive figure will. Abortion, immigration, healthcare etc. will all get sensationalized, run of the mill budget proposals and trade deals won't, so they have to find a way to link them to the stuff everyone actually cares about. It's just a way to insure future attention and wage generation by a bunch of people that want to be famous but don't have the talent or personality that lead to celebrity.

Nobody loves JD Vance quite like Dan Quale does.

I mean, calling other beings demons sounds like something a demon would do.

Only thing left is for him to come out at the next CPAC stage and sing Soda Pop to the women there.

I think the plank in JD's eye is blinding him to the demons he is and has surrounded himself with.

Vance's trials will be good, but maybe not as satisfying as Hegseth's

I think Miller’s will be the absolute best. I might have to watch with the sound off so I don’t get tinnitus from all the high pitched shrieking though.

Miller doesnt seem like the type to have the dignity and balls to actually stand trial. Definitely reminds me of Goebbels.

He has to know to that he stands no political chance...anywhere without Trump. I honestly don't know if he even had a political background of note before being VP but he's definitely doesnt'y have enough going on as a standalone politican to be anything more than a Rep at most.

The man works with more real demons than any actual religious leader

What career? He's barely a side character. Even someone with no more credentials than being married to a dead fascist is more relevant than J whatever.

Does Salon not know that grown ass adults around the country believe wholeheartedly in demons and are encouraged in that belief by other grown-ass adults fleecing them for money?

I’ve seen MAGA Catholic grandparents in New Orleans concerned about the “demon” in “kpop dmeonhunters” and it’s just like… can you be more f****** brain dead than a Christian???? No. Can we just throw them all in the swamp????

I blame Frank Peretti.

Well, yeah, cause’s he’s basically Gwi-Ma without the interesting aesthetic, charisma, or Demon Boyband.

These guys are operating from a playbook. There's nothing new here at all- Trump and his cronies would use this exact model during their first term, the only difference is he has successfully surrounded himself this time on every level by sycophants who are actively doing the same thing in unison.
1) Either ignore a problem to the point of incompetency or create a problem due to complete incompetency.
2) Attempt to distract by creating other problems, attacking the "other" and misinforming everyone all the time.
3) When all that fails to make you look competent, say something insane. Something so incredibly laughable people don't even know how to respond.
4) Continue to extract money for personal wealth. That was the point all along.

Reminder that the real reason that Vance is doing this is not because he cares about his career it's because he was appointed to the vice president position as a means of control over Trump and in the event that Trump dies or fails to enact the heritage foundations policies they can 25th amendment him and push Vance who will push those policies through.

Cool J.D. Vance shakes his head, "naww, it's the demon rats that are dorky dorks. Everybody knows that silly." As he gives a cool smirk to his cool followers.

It’s not youth outreach. Aliens have to be demons or else their cult falls apart.
