We sense ourselves as discrete beings
.
Separate from the universe around us.
.
Accordingly, the Scientific Method is unable to handle phenomena of which the experimenter is an inseparable aspect.
.
Suppose something like telepathy works if and only if the experimenter genuinely believes it will.

Suppose something like telepathy works if and only if the experimenter genuinely believes it will.
.
If this is the case, telepathy is inherently beyond the reach of the Scientific Method, because the experiment is not freely replicable.
.
A skeptical experimenter cannot confirm it by precisely replicating the "initial conditions", because the initial conditions bring different results for different experimenters.
.
This failure of determinism—identical initial conditions bringing different results—can only be resolved by recognizing the experimenter as part of those conditions, thereby invalidating the principle of objectivity.

And if you can buy into this then many, many other things are not true either
.
Look around you
.
Pay more attention to the death throws of reductionism
.
To the many abject failures of modern technology to provide answers
.
Notice how narrow our certainty is about so many things.
.
One little push
.
One little crack
.
One little change
.
Suddenly all our certainties are gone
.
And this is our world today
.
One of increasing stress and insecurities

Learn to live in the moment and let go of your belief in certainties
