Telepathy & Shared Consciousness – Spiros Michalakis 5/5

Are you ready to get weird? The Telepathy Tapes makes an extraordinary claim: some nonspeaking autistic people appear able to receive information that nobody knows how they could get. Plenty of skeptics think the whole thing is bullshit. Plenty of believers skip straight past the experiment. Both reactions are boring. Spiros and I ask the more useful question: if there is even a clean, testable anomaly here, what experiment would let us find out? That takes us through entanglement, shared consciousness, Aikido, empathy and communication channels physics may not know how to read yet. This is not a declaration that telepathy is real. It’s an argument for being brave enough to test interesting things.

Are you ready to get weird? The Telepathy Tapes makes an extraordinary claim: some nonspeaking autistic people appear able to receive information that nobody knows how they could get. Plenty of skeptics think the whole thing is bullshit. Plenty of believers skip straight past the experiment. Both reactions are boring.

Spiros and I ask the more useful question: if there is even a clean, testable anomaly here, what experiment would let us find out? That takes us through entanglement, shared consciousness, Aikido, empathy and communication channels physics may not know how to read yet. This is not a declaration that telepathy is real. It’s an argument for being brave enough to test interesting things.
