    That research had very serious flaws and didn't hold up to scrutiny. There's some writing on it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing#Scientific_reception

      Martin Gardner has written that the founding researcher Harold Puthoff was an active Scientologist prior to his work at Stanford University, and that this influenced his research at SRI.

      Yeah that all looks legit. The main reason I think it's true is because I've tried it myself and it just works too well to be explained by cope.

          Remote viewing isn't interesting or useful or anything like other psychic abilities are. But it's easy and everyone can do it.

      Wikipedia is not a reliable source.

        While I understand that's usually a great point in discussions on hexbear, It's perfectly adequate topics which aren't policitcally charged.

          There are organised brigading groups deliberately tilting Wikipedia to their bias.

          This is well-documented; they're surprisingly brazen about it.

          It is particularly bad for charged/controversial topics like this.
