6:00 In collage 4 kids (all friends) missed the final exam for an import class. They contacted the teacher the next day claiming they had missed the exam because of a flat tire. The teacher didn't really believe them but decided to give them a chance. He placed each student into a different room (before cell phones) so they had no way to communicate and said the test would be composed of two essay question. The first question, on side A would be worth %5 of their grade and was fairly simple. The second question would be worth 95% of there grade and may or may not have been even easier. "Which tire was it?"

When I was a kid there was a magazine called Omni that dealt with science and science fiction. I distinctly remember reading an article covering a study of airline records and the cancelations or no-shows on flights that crashed compared to flights that landed safely, stating there was a statistically significant difference ... suggesting some form of precognition. I have since not been able to find any such study, so can't identify if it was a real article, or some sort of fictional story (this was 45 or so years ago). If, however, someone was to look into such things, I feel this would be a better way to examine these things, as if such an ability exists, evolutionary selection pressure would lean more towards survival situations as opposed to seeing wavy lines on a card.

This is one of the most interesting of all things to me. I cannot imagine at all what it would be to only think in words; but have been told and read that is the most common. Frankly it sounds horrifying and extremely limited to only have words. I do not think in words or images or anything else, I just think. I can certainly choose to form thoughts and think in words, images, feelings, sounds, etc. But they are all (especially words) modes that require a little focus to maintain. Putting thoughts into words is something like translation, with a lot of poetic license needed as the words are always very insufficient unless it is a purely technical/physical subject . It is hard to imagine telepathy between people whose minds are so different as I feel from the majority of people who apparently think in mostly words. How strange then would be telepathy between species

When I'm speaking to myself in my mind, Im also listening to myself. It's almost as if theres two consciousnesses in my mind that bounce ideas off each other. Like a voice of reason and a voice of impulse. I pretty much speak in full sentences while having a clear image of the thing im speaking about in my mind. It's never really jumbled or partial. I can also use my fingers to put invisible marks on surfaces or in the air and i can recall what i put or wrote there. For instance, I can do maths by making marks either in the air or on a surface and i can recall the problem as im doing it. As I got older, i just assumed that one consciousness is doing the problem and the other is keeping track of the marks i make. This may sounds strange but its hard to articulate what is happening.

Since our brains (or my brain at least, I don't know about others) work by basically bringing up a concept or idea and then having a lot of things happen in response to that based on the associations that are linked to that concept I would think that any such technology would need to be able to translate thoughts. That is to say, the "Telepathy is the best method of communication because everyone can understand thoughts" trope is probably far from the truth. You would basically need a device that can scan your brain over a long period of time and build up a map of your associated concepts that can then read your current thoughts and translate them into a universal code so that another such device can then translate those back into thoughts that another person could understand based on his concepts and associations.

10:30 your description of evolution as a goal oriented process is misguided (no pun intended?). Repetition is a key process, with extra inefficient parts being modified or salvaged for other uses or eventually deprecated. This is how you go from a flat worm to a soft bodied worm to a segmented worm to a centipede (as an illustration rather than an actual evolutionary tree), Same for eyes: eye spots, simple eyes, compound eyes, complex eyes. Humans have plenty of vestigial organs like the appendix or a separate ring and pinky finger. So simple structures beget multiple simple structures which become modified to more complex structures, which repeats until the structure is not as useful or uses more energy than is useful for, which results in that structure being less emphasized unless another use for it is found. Kind of like old clothes being turned into a quilt being turned into a car seat cover.

Or wouldn't there be a species of predator that hunted simply by picking up its small prey using its mind and simply floating that small helpless animal into its mouth? Forget about people who can tell you what card you are holding, because of evolution these ESP animals would cover the earth.

We were driving near a SAC air base and the aircraft was pretty low, probably landing, going our same direction. I told my father, a B47 pilot at the time. He just dismissed it, saying B47s don't hover. However, he didn't look up to check because he was busy driving. But I know what I saw.

So, I do have an experience where I kind of experienced some strange form of precognition, although I’ve never been able to repeat it, and it could possibly be just attributed to coincidence, but it felt so creepy when it happened it was like I was able to tell the future. I used to carefully record my dreams every night, and got to a point where my dream recall was pretty strong. I would write down and date every dream upon waking up from it. So first, came the dream. I dreamed that a girl that I worked with, we will call her K, got a Henna Tattoo on her right arm, and then my wife at the time came into my work and got mad at me because she thought I was staring at her chest. Then, three days after the recorded dream, a different co worker, we will call her R, came in with a Henna Tattoo on her right arm. I was shocked, and asked her about it. Asked if she discussed getting it at work or anything like that, but it came from a party she went to, one of her friends I didn’t know had a henna kit and they decided to use it. The party was 3 days earlier, on the night that I had the dream. Later in the same day, my ex wife came in and saw the girl with the Henna tattoo working and she scoffed at me and said, “I see you’ve hired a new blonde, figures.” And left. I know that the person involved was different, but this was only the second time in my life I encountered Henna, the first being from my ex herself when she was pregnant with my oldest a few years before. No one had discussed it in front of me before the dream. Probably just a series of coincidences, but after that, yes I did try to dream lottery numbers, and no, I was never able to remember any numbers upon waking.

My take on the supernatural: by definition a phenomenon cannot be supernatural if it is observed by natural beings (humans) or affects anything in the natural world. In order for anything to interact with the natural world it must have a natural attribute. If a "supernatural" thing moves an object, for example, then there simply _must_ have been some kind of energy being transferred to that object, and that energy is a natural phenomenon. "Supernatural" cannot exist in our universe, because anything that exists in our universe is by definition natural. "Supernatural" is just something natural we do not currently understand.

Long story short having my knife got me into trouble BUT it was well worth it because a guy almost ran over one of my friends and when she yelled at him he tried to attack her, me being a wrestler and having my knife, stepped into do what needed to be done but he drove off and I was the one that got into trouble. It's not so much you "see the future" as in its a general feeling, more like a narrowing of the possible outcomes of your light cone than a "this will 100% happen" type thing. I also know outside the one with Witnesses it's not something I can prove or even test (and if I could test it that means I could train it so I would be 100% on board with it)

I'm much more interested in abilities like those of the Asari or Protheans from Mass Effect. The Asari had the ability to merge nervous systems with someone via touch. It played a role in their reproduction and it also allowed the transmission of memories. The dark side of this was a subvarient of Asari called "Ardat Yakshi" that could literally overload the nervous systems of people they tried to merge with. The Protheans took it much further, able to read the biochemical and genetic makeup of a person through touch. They could sense things like stress, aggression, recent sexual encounters, grief and pain, and transmit these experiences to others of their kind. They even developed technology focused around this ability, archiving experiences in something called a "Memory shard." I prefer these approaches, and Mass Effect's biotic abilities, much more than I do traditional telepathy. As for classic sci fi, my favorite telepaths are always going to be Anne McCaffrey's Dragonriders of Pern. The dragons were telepathic, able to teleport, symbiotic, and incredibly intelligent. In the end they were able to perform some impressive feats, including teleporting to a rogue planet and back alive, traveling centuries back in time and then forwards again to whence they came, and not sweating time paradoxes in the slightest. "If it has happened, it must happen." They declared, as if that settled how disturbing it was. I used to do a multiverse rp series, and a character with hydrokinesis and extensive cybernetics in one arm and attached to her senses also had the ability to locate things and people by the water in their bodies. It formed a shape, like sonar, which she then "read". She could sense people's hearts as well, even to the point of being able to force a heart to beat by contracting and expanding the water surrounding it. Needless to say, it took a lot of concentration and was very nerve wracking, as it wasn't the sort of thing you could practice very easily. It was basically just do or die. She hated using that sort of ability offensively, for example making someone's arms or legs explode in ice crystals or steam. She'd really only ever use it destructively if her life was threatened or if the casualties would be unmanageable and complicated if she didn't. But by the time she grew up and got a lot stronger and better controlled, it was pretty hard to make her fear for her life. Not even Scarecrow's fear toxin from the DC universe loose in a crowded bank was enough to make her warrant exploding people's body parts in ice, though a Bleach universe hollow blasting holes clear through a heavily populated SCP Foundation facility was.

I feel like sticking someones head into an MRI to check for telepathy is like putting your phone in a microwave to see if it can send and receive microwave carrier signals. At best you learn nothing and at worst you damage the very delicate thing you wish to investigate.

I have grown to HATE telepathy in science fiction. Completely due to the laziness of too many authors. The lazy author just throws telepathy into their world without considering the consequences. If my ship's psychologist can read the minds of aliens instantaneously from hundreds of thousands of miles away, my civilization will be be devoting most if not all of it's research to figure out how. Not just shrugging and going that's nice.

Esteemed Issac Arthur, The problem with this episode is that genetics are not taken into account. What I mean is that genetics can take a much more prominent role in this along with all of the other factors, not to mention 'dormancy'. Just because most humans are born with an Appendix doesn't mean it functions properly in most humans. As a matter of fact, the Appendix is only semi-functional in about 1% of Earth's population. Most grow up, live and die, never knowing it actually works sometimes. Yet, it is a fact of life that it doesn't function in nearly anyone, and in a few people, it can even end up as a detriment, as the Appendix can contrive illness, and has to be removed. Taking this premise about genetics though, let's say that 1% of the world has an active kind of ESP (let alone telepathy). Most active can 'use', but can't 'receive' telepathic relays at all. Others can be affected by it, but only affected alone. This makes them about as standard as any radio, in that they can 'receive', but they can't 'send'. Taking that 0.01% and 'expanding it' into a section as a total by itself (making it another 100% / or 0.000,2 total overall), only 2% can actively send telepathic messages, only 50% can do both, which is normally what's tested for by functioning research facilities. 0.000,005% Moreso, the 'right conditions' also are a factor. Like a radio station, someone who is sending and someone who is receiving telepathic transmissions both have to be on the same wavelength, much like a radio station that sends, and a bandwidth radio that plays music. Both have to be in minimal sync for music to be transmitted. A person who can both send and receive is like Ham Radios. Very few people have a common need of this attribute for general survival, and so it has 'atrophied' over the very long millennia, but doesn't mean that all people born can't use it; some can, just not always successfully. For this, add on a 0.03 multiplier, in which you get 0.000,005% of the 'telepathically capable' population. Exposes the fact that only about 0.000,000,5 % of the population has any ability whatsoever, and only about 1% of THAT are fully telepathic, let alone having other abilities, such as telekinesis (mind), plasmalkinesis (plasmas/fire), hydrokinesis (water), areokinesis (air), cryokinesis (temperature), geokinesis (physical matter), magnesis (magnetics), cronokinesis (time), and even simple ESP empathy (emotional/sensation sub-telepathy). (Break the terms down personally; they're easy to understand, if you study the field of ESP, or scientific taxonomy in general, to gain the implications of each term; explaining them will take too long. I'm only including ESP phenomenon that is 'current-applicable' in the 'happens-now' sense. I'm NOT including alternative psychokinesis phenomena, like retrocognition, precognition, remote viewing, etc.; though they could be applicable.) Multiply by another 0.0001, and you get 0.000,000,05% population with fully functioning send/receive telepathy. Then take the differences between two career professionals; a football player, and an artist. A Football Player can draw or paint, or sculpt art, but not at the same proficiency level as a Professional Artist. Likewise, an Artist can play football, but not at the same proficiency level as the football player. Likewise between them both, they don't always have success in all of their attempts. Divide by 0.001. In the end, you get 1/500 million who has 'fully active' ESP Telepathy, but can only produce repeatable evidence 10% of the time. 0.000,000,005 However, 100% 'repeatable results' are what Scientists and Skeptics 'expect'. Factor in the idea that telepathy only partially functions (like the idea of how the Appendix only partially functions), and suddenly, the number of successes lack, while the numbers of common failures, make sense; especially when the current scientific standards for 'fact' by skeptics require 100% repeatable outcomes. However, this reduces the potential successes to only about 10% of the time. Divide by another 10%. 0.000,000,000,5, or 1 in 5 billion. Once you get at 0.000,000,000,5 or 1 in 500 billion chances of repeatable success at any particular time, this is known as the BEST standards science has found; these are numbers found between TWINS. Start factoring differences for genetic difference, general health, race, age, diet, talent, aptitude, practice, location x 2, altitude, and time, etc. Multiply by 0.01 for each of these, and you get 0.000,000,000,000,000,000,000,005 or 1in 500 Sextillion chances you'll ever see 'repeatable successes' outside of twins and their penchant for pheromones, personal languages, clairsentience, or even quantum entanglement theories, which only reduces this to 1 in 500 Quintillion chances. Starting to see why telepathy is not so easily scientifically repeatable? Possible? YES. Consistent for viable human application? NO. This is why 'Skeptics win', by unfair expectations. However, just because the Appendix doesn't normally work doesn't mean we don't know the ORGAN isn't there. Doctors and other theorists have long known the Appendix is there, and make assumptions about its 'once-upon-a-time use'. It's also long been stated that where the Pituitary Gland is located near resides a liquid-filled, dormant chamber, much like the inner ear, and also figured to be a 'resonance chamber', and also has doctors and other theorists that hypothesize about its function, mainly for 'developmental sociality' or 'deep space exploration. Certain pitches of vibration can 'stimulate' the pituitary gland to be 'active', though science is not sure to what end, but seems to produce ESP-type activity in the middle of the brain, where the two halves of the brain meet. We'll need a lot more time, and a lot more development as a species to re-develop the need for Telepathy, but we MAY (further) develop it. (again...) Here's to hoping the odds are ever in our human favor.

As far as ESP abilities go, I've studied them in general enough to know generally what to say about them, and the ONLY thing that I'll say about my involvement with them, is that I'm Empathic. I do feel other's emotions, and even some of their physical pains. It's why I try to avoid 'crowded' situations... There's no real 'schools' to learn these things, because there's no real standard. Much is learned through life lessons, even if there's a few 'arcane' references for 'practices'. That being said, each person's abilities are indeed very specific unto each person, which is why it can be hard to 'reach others', even up close. Even the studied can make mistakes and miss something if they're not looking for it, and still often do even when they are. Too much skepticism can be a bad thing, even if it's good to be skeptical. It's not 'giga-rare', as most people would have you believe. It's just dormant in most of us. For those that it's active in?... Abilities like these can be both a blessing and a curse. There's no real way of knowing how to turn it on or off; it's not a light switch. Sometimes, you have no way of knowing whether such abilities are affecting you, much how carbon dioxide can sneak up on a person and start choking them without a person realizing it, until it's almost too late. It's just on when it's on, and off when it's off. There doesn't seem to be any pattern in the ability's activity. Most of us hide these abilities, because we don't want to get used. We've already seen the shows, and how bad it gets. The reality is worse. (Historical government projects, anyone?) People would use us and abuse us. Beyond our slight talent and ability? We're human; hopes and dreams, flesh and blood... and real anger and tears. Governments, businesses and even friends and family have tried using and abusing people like us, without remembering that we're still people like you. It never ends well. (You don't complain about the football player that didn't make the touchdown to his utter demise, nor the painter for a mistake in his art until they die. We're human too, and just as foulable.) Still, there's hope on the horizon... There's a number of people who have expanded in ESP Empathy recently. With every generation, it's getting stronger with the amount of people born with ESP Empathy. If you find them, maybe they'll open up. Maybe they won't, but it's growing more acceptable to open up, so there's a chance. That being said?... I only have a few requests when you interact with people like us. 1. If they are young? Teach them to be empathetic to other's feelings; to continue to try and relate, and keep them from turning apathetic to another's feelings. Some emotions can hurt physically; and in turn, it can hurt us too, because we can share that pain. I don't know of any that can 'take the pain away', even if I've heard of it (Native American stories); I haven't experienced it myself. Eventually, they'll self-teach, or find someone like them too and learn, sometimes. No matter what? Give them the humanity we all deserve. Maybe you can't always be understanding, but everyone can be supportive. Loving us instead of mocking us, fearing us or hating us because of our differences will only make us hide more. As far as what our purpose is?... The best reason I can give... is that we're meant to build bridges of better understanding. At least, I like to believe this. 2. When you meet someone like us? Don't expect parlor tricks. It doesn't work that way. If an Empath syncs with someone, they'll know it, because they'll tell you what you feel, even if you don't realize it. We can reach deeper than you know, sometimes deeper than we know. Still, this doesn't mean we know WHY you feel such a way, only that you do. Sometimes we can't sync with a person at all. 'Blank', like paper, is the best description, in my own experience. Sometimes we can sync with someone so well, those without the ability and talent can have it temporarily opened up, like one person's vehicle jumping the battery of another person's ability vehicle, and for just a moment, you'll experience what we do daily. I call this 'bridging'. Don't fear what you experience; just take it in as simply an experience. Most people have what I call 'emotional color', and the world... is 'vivid' in a way most can't understand or describe. It's a sensation that's just... beyond the self. There's rhythm, and confusion, like order and chaos both played at once. Erff... I'm rambling... XP No matter what, take what's given in any kind of explination from those like us with a grain of sugar, and a grain of salt. Sometimes we 'read' the wrong person. We don't always 'get it right,' or have the words to explain things, but we try. All any of us could ask... is that you respect the attempt to try. 3. We don't really understand how everything works, so explanations can be... difficult, even at our best. Words can only take us so far in understanding, and the experience is the necessary beyond the explanations, much like how a picture is worth a thousand words. Please understand that we're all at different placements of abilities and levels of learning and understanding, have different experiences, and will develop different answers. We still learn like all other humans do; one lesson at a time. We just have different lessons to learn. If you want to know anything else? Ak away, I'll try to give a good answer. I hope the ones I've given so far are at least 'good enough'. I'm sorry there's not much science behind this that I'm experienced with.

I actually think that a Colony species, like the one seen in ender's game, could be the most likely to develop a telepathy like ability, though it would likely only work in species, and not allow for cross-species communication. For example, ants already communicate and work together as a society via pheromones and other outside signals besides speaking or language, allowing for signals to be send over larger distances at a much faster rate. If a species like ants were to be larger, and still maintain their colony structure, then i could conceivably imagine their means of pheromone signaling to communicate could evolve further, allowing for more wide range communication of feelings and thoughts via smells and other external signals, such that the entire species within a certain radius could hear and understand the thoughts and feelings of the other colony members. Thus granting them each the ability to read each others minds in a way and silently communicate. Evolutionarily, this would allow the species to have more instantaneous communication over larger distances, and potentially allow for the creation of a network that is spread over an incredible wide area, giving all species members in the area knowledge of things in said area and the locations of their fellow species, as each relays information between the others, while being based in the factors that originally allowed for the species to survive and thrive as a community in the first place. Thus, the species would have the potential for a telepathy like ability, but rather than being based in purely the brain, it would be based on pheromones and other signaling means, though i could conceive that the species somehow evolves to include brain signaling as an aftereffect of this, to potentially further increase their means of complex communication, though given that the structure of an ant colony, which is acting as the example species here, and how there are minors, majors, and supermajors, along with the queen, we could assume that different members of the species could develop differing levels of pheromonal communication, such that certain members of the species have a louder 'voice' in their network so to speak, or merely just have extra signals they send out to indicate their difference, there are a number of ways that the species could potentially evolve and change at that point really

I think precognition won't work on such a random system as the lottery or stockmarket, though you can kinda surmise what may happen based on historical information, especially with the stockmarket. I mean insider trading is illegal because it's unfair to the unincluded, but knowing that a stock price is gonna crash because of some outside influence, and understand that it won't stay that low, you can expect it to regain some of its former value. Is that precognition? No, but I think it's not impossible

Which I promise you includes the government kidnapping you and, in the best case scenario, forcing you to use your cognition for the benefit of the government. In the worse case scenario (and more likely I think), it includes experimentation to try and replicate the ability.

some people did win the lottery or made a killing on the stock market, but if they have a repeatable way to do it, would never tell how, for the very good reason that disclosure is a certain path to losing, in future. so you have no data on it. clear evidence of psi is obscured by: (1) lack of a theory of operation, that would lead to testable hypotheses; (2) the lack of skill or latent ability of test subjects; (3) the sheer boredom of subjecting oneself to testing; (4) the high cost / benefit of disclosing instead of keeping successes a secret; (5) the insistence of researchers that they must look for something paranormal. if you faced a life or death situation where your intuition saved your life, that might give you a chance to pass on that ability to your descendants; latent ability may be universal, but, like any skill, has to be developed; but if it is something special that only some are gifted with, it may be dangerous for them to stand out from the crowd. it may be that only under extreme stress, or other special circumstances, do you use your intuition to the fullest. such an ability isn't necessarily available to be evoked on command, but may be spontaneous. testing would be fruitless

indeed. but what is the mechanism? Stuart Hameroff and Roger Penrose have a consciousness theory (Orch OR), a part of which points to microtubules in neurons having the capability of quantum computing. There could be a simple neurocircuit in most mammals that is for prey avoidance (wary of predatory eyes). Since we know that simply observing something changes it, it could be that this neurocircuit collapses when observed with intent. If this is indeed a valid mechanism it still would not enable telepathy of complex thoughts. That being said I do believe consciousness has the capability of being non-local - I just don't know how it could be explained from the ground up.

Here's the thing though. It's super easy to test: can you transmit information to someone or otherwise receive information by means other than the known senses. You test it the same way they tested the telephone, someone is trying to send you info, can you receive it? Super easy to test. They've actually tested whether you know someone is viewing you (through a one-way mirror, then through CCTV) and they don't work (that is perform above chance). You are free to believe what you will, but please don't say it's difficult to test empirically, because it's not. It's pretty straight forward given the point of telepathy is you can send or receive accurate information.

Every time I hear someone say, "It's the thought that counts" I want to ask them, If they are chatting with a friend and their friend sees a mosquito land on the end of their nose, and their friend, knowing how annoying it is to have an itchy nose hits the mosquito as hard as they can with their closed fist to squash it before it bites them, would they still think it's the thought that counts? Intentions are fine, but if the execution is so negligent that much greater harm is done than would have taken place otherwise criminal charges may still be filed.

If someone tries to shoot me in the face but his pistol jams, the thought would still count, even though the execution failed.

@@gives_bad_advice Do you understand that "murder" and "attempted murder" are two completely different crimes, with completely different penalties and are violations of completely different laws? And in any case, it is completely irrelevant to my argument here.

In the case of attempted murder, the crime could truly be a thought crime. I pull the trigger, nothing physical happens, no physical harm done. But I've revealed what's going on in my mind in the attempt.

Friend, I asked this question over on your Forum and for some reason, it never got approved to post. What, if any, roles will the future offer to the Rugged Individualist? I have always believed, that as a General Rule, if you cannot do it by yourself, then it probably isn't worth doing-though I DO admit occasional exceptions.

well considering nothing you do is something you do alone other than lk breathing. everything else is learned & kept updated by a whole society & most anything actually commonly considered worth doing requires specialized tools or knowledge that you urself dont/can't have/make if not outright multiple people to be achieved at all. having said that isaac has mentioned, in the context of transhumans & superintelligence, the idea of individuals containing the sum total of human knowledge in their heads or learning things superfast & being able to effectively do everything/anything they need to. limiting those issues of basically everything being a group effort. truth be told "rugged individualists" are pretty useless even now & individualism is pretty useless to a social species more generally. pretty much everything we do remains a group effort & in most cases either the trend is to more social involvement or tasks that are simple enough to be automated out of relevance. one would generally expect that trend to continue with most tasks being automated out of relevance & the few left either requiring more intelligence or more general emotional stability than the average individual actually has.

You're far too open-minded on the topic. Telepathy is hypothetically possible, yes. It would just have to be a kind of organic wi-fi. If it's not inborn to the lifeform, then it doesn't qualify...implants don't count. We already have animals with evolutionarily modified neurons that, while they don't currently interact with electromagnetic fields that are commonly used for remote communication, could evolve or be modified to do so. Organic radio antennas aren't impossible, just super unlikely. ESP as it's colloquially understood would also technically be able to exist for the same reason, but since there are already many, many more senses than just the 5 people know about, any kind of sense at all is never "extra-sensory". It's just another sense. So, no ESP by name, ever...because there's nothing weird about it. . Every single other variation of "psychic powers"? Completely off the table, forever. . 1) Precognition/prescience. You can predict possible futures out of memories and current events, but there's no future to actually sense or look at. It's not there, at all. There's only now, and what we consider the "past" and "future" are just different sequential configurations of the stuff in the universe. There's no past or future to "go to". Prediction is not precognition. So, the ability is forever impossible. Any attempt to time-travel or do so exclusively with sensory perception, would only result in instantly changing the events that would've led to any given configuration from that point, and make everything you sense via such an effort, completely uncertain again. . 2) Psychokinesis. This should really be obvious. There's no way any organic body the size of a human is ever going to convert and contain the amount of power needed to physically move objects remotely. It would require either a power source the size of a building just to move a penny, or it would require an energy conversion so perfect that it breaks thermodynamics. Even then, the only thing close would be antimatter annihilation, and that itself would require an entire building or more to safely contain it. Not even going to get into how difficult it is to even create a mechanism that can do it at all, and how evolution does not work that way, at all...the power requirements alone are more than enough to kill the idea forever. . Really...that's it. Every single other power written about or imagined is just a combination or variation of those. Those are the only unique abilities in the entire genre. All of the rest are entirely derivative from them. And because of their nature, they're magic. Pure fantasy. And they'll never be anything else.

Precognition is not telepathy and I flatly believe it's not possible because the future is not set. What might be possible is sensing what "most people are expecting to happen" or sensing what the "real" controllers of the world are planning, and that might seem to sometimes predict. But it's not predicting the future because the future doesn't exist (yet). It's just an abstract concept.

I personally believe that there is some form of premonition because I experienced it myself via some dreams and a heavy feeling of something is going to happen the day they occur, but it's too unconscious and random that I feel you cannot control it. Would be so interesting see a breakthrough in understanding this type of phenomena. But this is only thing what I speak for myself as a truth experience, anything else like telepathy and other stuff who knows if it really exists.

This channel is unique. If telepathy is a transfer of information then it has to abide by some causal principles. I believe that any sufficiently advanced Alien civilization would inevitably achieve it given enough time and resources. (A nanotube scale device used as a neutrino emitter/ receiver, doesn't seem so far fetched, maybe it's in the brain but we just don't know it's there yet).
