Yes, but Remote Viewing is interesting to read about. In particular, how quantum mechanics is used to explain it.
The last I read on the 'substantiated real evidence' was that some professional statistician analyzed every study ever done on individuals - who supposedly had psi abilities - by the CIA/DIA (and other govt. groups?) and somehow normalized the data so that pure randomness would give a 25 percent result of correct choices. I vaguely recall there were around 10,000 pages of data.
The analyst found that 27 percent of the answers were correct, an additional 2 percent, which is not enough to convince me, as of course there is the possibility of measurement biases or other errors. I'd have to see a number around 50 percent, in such a study, to say there
may be something there.
hmmm...if I thought I had psi, then I'd be spending a lot of time on E-trade and/or in casinos.
I give James Randi alot of kudos for his reward offer for proof.
