Below is an interesting interview with Dr. Jessica Utts, a professional statistician who worked closely with the CIA/Standford Research Institute’s remote viewing program to determine if certain parapsychological phenomena had any scientific merit. The data-driven conclusion was an emphatic “yes.”
“A large portion of people have claimed to have had experiences [with remote viewing], and I think even a higher portion claim to believe that it’s possible. So I think what's gotten in the way are a very very small group of debunkers who happen to have scientific status. And to me, they’re doing a huge disservice to society for making it not acceptable for people to be doing academic research in this area.” -Dr. Jessica Utts
