I'm amazed that people repeat the phrase "Extraordinary Claims Require Extraordinary Evidence" without once thinking about how problematic it is.
"Extraordinary" is an opinion. It's not quantifiable and it can mean what you want it to mean. It's not appropriate for science.

If you believe in the paranormal you are more likely to experience it. This is because consciousness is fundamental to reality.
Anomalistic psychology often gets this wrong. People aren’t fooling themselves, they’re literally creating their own reality.

It's basically been established that the universe is nonlocal, which means that we are too.
From there, the only logical conclusion you can reach is that connectedness of all living things is real.

Long ago, when I was researching paranormal skepticism, it quickly became obvious that it was deeply tied to atheism. Not all atheists were skeptics, but skeptics were atheists.
Skepticism, it seemed, was just another belief system, even if it was referred to as non belief.

The Guerrilla Skeptics on Wikipedia

are funded by the Center for Inquiry, which is a secular humanist non profit with a mission (on tax returns) to evangelize atheism around the world.
The GS are using Wikipedia to evangelize atheist materialism. That's their mission.

The Guerrilla Skeptics of Wikipedia are an anti-intellectual atheist materialist organization dedicated to teaching the world that we have brains, but no minds.

To reject psi:
1. Reject all psi experience from everyone
2. Reject all historical records of psi
3. Reject all experimental evidence
4. Assign 100% credibility to all skepticism
I've never found this to be a rational method of inquiry.

If consciousness is fundamental then quantum physics probably sits at the intersection of timeless, spacelessness and physical reality.
Entangled photons behave as though they're not separated because they aren't. Distance isn't a fundamental property of the universe.

Disbelief in psychic ability exposes defective rational thinking.
If almost half the planet has a psychic experience, are they all mistaken? Or is it more likely that the disbelief is merely someone's out of control ego, e.g., "I don't experience this, therefore it's not real."

I have trouble with the idea of our reality being a simulation, hologram, etc.
Yes, I think we're experiencing a kind of scaffolding over a deeper reality, but I think it's still reality, just in a form that's easier for us to understand and relate to. i.e. understanding a tree.

It's becoming increasingly apparent that the universe is nonlocal, which means that space and time are not fundamental to it.
We are part of the universe which means that we are nonlocal. Unity defines us, not separateness. That's not woo, that's physics.

The paranormal is completely explainable if you realize that consciousness is nonlocal because this means that we're filtering out extraneous information all the time. The paranormal is just information that exists on the border of what we filter out and what we keep.

I think one thing even the Guerrilla Skeptics don't realize is that they are selling atheistic materialism through their editing. It's not rationality, it's not scientific, it's just a belief system based on their underlying assumptions which they take for truth.

The worst mistake a skeptic can make is to never doubt skepticism.

This is an article about a theory that links vibrations to consciousness because vibrations have a tendency to sync up.
From just the article, the flaw is that you can also see vibrations as a medium through which consciousness acts.

Our universe is conscious, which means that information, not physical objects is what we experience.
It follows that we experience far more than we are aware of, so our minds are curating our experiences, limiting the information input to useful stuff.

Parapsychology is one of those "Hiding in Plain Sight" subjects, like UAP's.
Once you start looking at the evidence, it takes quite some effort to dismiss it. The deeper you dive, the more you see that it's this weird blank spot that we collectively ignore.

Skeptics typically use the word "believer" in a derogatory way.
But if you weren't there yourself, or you didn't experience the same thing, then having an opinion makes you a believer too. somewhere along the way, you had to trust someone else's opinion. That's believing.

When I researched skeptics for my book and realized that they're all atheists, I saw them in a different light.
Skeptics appear to be a sub category of Anti-Theists. A more fitting description of them would be:
Evangelical Materialists.
They have some fanatical behavior.

The term pseudoscience is used a lot by skeptics.
Skeptics though, often make strong negative claims and demand that others disprove their assertions, then when others attempt to do so, the skeptic starts cherry picking the evidence they'll accept.
That's also pseudoscience.

The danger of pretending that we live in a material universe is that it is at odds with many experiences that people have. And where those experiences conflict with their understanding of science, the science is rejected, not the experience. Skeptics do not understand this.

You can only experience physical reality with consciousness. Everything about your interactions with that reality are consciousness.
So why do so many people ignore the importance of consciousness with regards to reality?

What's happening with the Guerrilla Skeptics may finally be the downfall of organized skepticism. It won't go away, but the world will finally be highly skeptical of skeptics. As it should be.
They aren't neutral, rational, nor critical thinkers; just believers with an agenda.

Psychic ability should be treated in science as something that we know exists, but that we must study in order to understand.
It is only exotic in the minds of skeptics. Most of the world knows what it is, even if it's difficult to define.

Neuroscience in no way prepares you to comment on philosophy of the mind. It tells you nothing about experience, only brain functions.
You cannot look at the mechanics of the brain and expect to find anything about what it's like to live a life.

By slapping a pseudoscience label on anything they don't like, the Guerrilla Skeptics can use it as justification to smear people and subjects they don't like on Wikipedia.

Consciousness, as far as anyone can tell, is nonlocal. AI however, is definitely part of our material reality.
You cannot replicate nonlocality with locality.
In other words, AI will never be able to think because it cannot transcend its physical roots.

The Mirror Worlds research showed that psychic functioning is mostly defensive in nature. We are spending most of our energy shutting out other people out and closing ourselves off from that connection.

Something I've thought about:
Is our perception of what's conscious or not just a limitation of our ability to perceive?
Do we assume that rocks aren't conscious solely because we can't even conceive of a way to interact with them? Is life necessary for consciousness? IDK

The problem of acceptance of parapsychology is not scientific. By the standards of any science, psychic ability is proven as much as anything can be.
The problem is social. It's a PR problem and will only be solved through PR type activity. The door has to be kicked in.

One of the problems that the Guerrilla skeptics create is the illusion that strongly anomalous experiences are not real and are the result of mental health issues.

Relativity in physics literally means: "Relative to the observer."
Physics is also relational: It literally means: "Relational according to the observer."
