Do you believe ESP?

I haven't seen any kind of sound, scientific research on the topic. I've seen plenty of philosophy and pseudo-science on how telepathy, clairvoyange, telekinesis, etc are possible but I honestly don't feel it's possible or at least not on the level that would make it useful. Until science says something serious about it, I don't think I can really take it all that seriously.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Can you name any other useful, innate human ability that took several hundred years to discover?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Along with other fantastical things that don't logically exist.

My point was, unlike obvious abilities such as walking, ESP is not a self-evident human ability.

That said, I found the idea of it needing to be "tapped in to" unlikely as it seems illogical to say that it exists even in a very weak, undeveloped state. Walking, for example, is something a human learns and gets considerably better with over time. Wouldn't ESP follow the same trend, if we truly possessed such an ability?

ESP is conceptually useful, so one would think that at an early age - if it existed - that we'd learn to use it to our advantage. Such is not the case.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I'm assuming that because I find it to be logical. I'd imagine that such abilities would permeate a group of people - genetically, if anything - large enough for it to be noticeable.

I mean, can you name any other abilities that are known to exist but be incredibly rare? When I say that, I mean specific things most people are totally incapable of; not innate proficiency in abilities that most people possess like music or mathematics.

I might be mistaken but this falls into the category of an ability we all have but in which we are rarely proficient. Last I checked anyone could force their joints to dislocate, it's just that most people don't want to because it is both unnecessary and unpleasant.

Sure.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?
