speaking at Hereticon, January, 2022

As we enter the third decade of the 21st century, one longstanding scientific and philosophic controversy can be laid to rest: extrasensory perception, or ESP, is real. We have amassed overwhelming and replicable evidence that renders ESP denialism a position of sentiment rather than science.

In this presentation at Hereticon in Miami Beach on January 12, 2022, I describe the facts around ESP research — and explore why our intellectual culture has been temporarily deterred from accepting them.

Sound-bite skepticism and polemically skewed coverage — especially on Wikipedia — cannot, finally, dispel the excellence and replicability of decades of academic ESP research.

Is ours the generation that will finally accept the evidence — and thus open new vistas of query?
