This. I have never seen anyone on /x/ be able to deliver anything like it without (at best) pointing to some pseudo-science site claiming legitimacy, or just more schizo-larp YouTube videos.
If any of this shit were real Harvard would be poring out research about it day and night. The only rebuttal to this is 'lol you believe in the establishment!' which is ironic considering the sources above the opposition believes.

These people would rather believe literal hippie snake-oil salesmen than the scientific method that has moved humanity to the point that allows them to access this very site. It's nothing short of insanity how far gone some of you are.

Dean Radin talks about this. Academia isn't interesting in ESP, it's that simple really. There's enough empirical evidence of these anomalies, but the majority of the scientific community doesn't want to pursuit this because things like ESP completely annihilate materialism. Yes I am very sorry, but it's really that simple. So what should a normal healthy human do when academia shits its pants from this subject? Well, you can just try it yourself! If you care enough you will find out.

I don't understand this argument. You describe it like there is this international agreement from every scientist on the fucking planet to NOT research specific subjects because it goes against dogma.

Now I'll meet you half way: a lot of scientists probably see it as career suicide to attempt to research something so close to 'stupid' as they see it. Where that falls apart is the assumption that EVERY scientist feels this way.
We have psychology, cognitive therapy, we even have published and reviewed articles on medical hypnosis for fucks sake. A lot of people, to this day, consider these pseudosciences but that doesn't mean no one will touch them. Astral projection is not beyond the realm of something a dedicated scientist can research if they put it forward correctly.

So either literally every researcher on Earth has a metaphorical gun to their head (if this is what you believe I don't think anything I can say will persuade you) or it is in fact so insanely taboo that no scientist is willing to touch it despite us already having delved into much thinner topics than astral projection on academic grants.

Its like natural selection, they don't have to control every individual, just select for people who go with the agenda and against people who are against it.
Also read Rupert Sheldrake's book 'Science set free' if you want examples of both this and paranormal phenomenon.

How this man is treated is precisely why academic asslicking science can go fuck itself.
