Remote viewing is a fabrication of statistics right? Not according to long time noted skeptic Richard Wiseman,
“I agree that by the standards of any other area of science that remote viewing is proven, but begs the question: do we need higher standards of evidence when we study the paranormal? I think we do. If I said that there is a red car outside my house, you would probably believe me. But if I said that a UFO had just landed, you’d probably want a lot more evidence. Because remote viewing is such an outlandish claim that will revolutionise the world, we need overwhelming evidence before we draw any conclusions. Right now we don’t have that evidence.”
So you are saying that because something doesn’t fit into the current scientific paradigm, it must be outlandish? That’s a really unfortunate viewpoint that can hinder scientific research. Scientists observe phenomena and try to explain them. There is a lot of evidence for the existence of remote viewing and other “paranormal” phenomena, unraveling the mechanisms behind these things could lead to amazing and rapid progress for society. Unfortunately, the research goes where the money goes and those in charge control the money… and the people in charge are the people like Richard Wiseman.
