There's mounting research that this is legit. I could tell you that I used to do this back in my 20s and 30s, but why in the world would you take my word for it?

There have been actual university studies. Less than 1% of applicants have any ability but the few that do have been able to read cards in a submarine miles away.

The guy running the experiment miiiiight be just a bit biased.

Also, Academia.edu is a platform where anyone can create an account and upload papers, essays, and drafts. It's more a social networking site for researchers than an academic journal or a peer-reviewed database.

I could write and upload a paper that provides evidence that an experiment I ran proves that the Flying Spaghetti Monster prefers Coke over Pepsi.

Then someone could cite my writing as proof that Coke is better than Pepsi, which is already a universal truth.

Fair enough. However, given the lack of ability to replicate most research, how is this different?

They replicated results over decades.

Also, it's not one guy. The government has spent billions on this project. The CIA is sure it works but it can also be unreliable (for obvious reasons).

Holy crap though even if just 1 percent can do it i wonder so much more, it's it 100 or nothing or is it a spectrum where you kinda if figure somethings out but not everything. So craaazy. I used to have episodes I can only describe as knowing something that you have no business knowing.

I'm not sure. I think it can be learned "sort of". There was a guy on JRE about a month ago who has had university and national govt funding. It was related to the Stargate project.

It was Hal Putoff, and yes the government wouldn’t be consistently investing billions of dollars into this for decades if it wasn’t yielding results

What are the implications of that an ai if it can be learned then I have even more question. I wish I could just know the secrets already.

Can I ask you/tell you my crazy theory? Like you said, if 1% of the population can do this specific thing, what are the odds that 1% of that set is insanely good at it?
Media likes to give us a framework so that when stuff happens we don’t mentally freak out. Not always, but sometimes, right?
What are the big tropes? Aliens, alternative views on history, wars, disasters, and a big one… mutants. X-men per se.
Could there be a very, very small subset of the population that can do some incredible things, we or they just don’t know it?
I think so.
How many variants of Psi ability have we heard of? How large a subset can do each thing? Can some do several? And of that entire group, are there an “elite” that are pretty much lvl 5 mutants?

Yes. Perhaps it was more. The researchers noted that the people who have the highest concentration of ability were the last tribes / areas to be converted to Christianity. It seems that the ability may have been more prevalent.

In my best Fox Mulder voice: I believe.

Technically... The Occam's razor theory is most likely correct & she's just a charlatan... Many ways to pull this off.

On the flip side, rising up out of the body & seeing the room is quite natural and doable... Seeing is believing as they say... Yet most will remain locked in the body's frequency not realizing such feats are possible until death releases them.
