Causation, Mind, and Psionics

RE: Causation, Mind, and Psionics

The thoughts from a 'sender' to a 'receiver' can increase the hit rate of the receivers from 25% to 32%. Apart from fraud, no purely materialistic theory can account for these results. You could say that the sender's intention to send and the receiver's intention to receive qualify as an example of final cause.

I'll need a citation or two for that, because I think that's bullshit.
Skepticism is not a position; it is an approach to claims.
Science is not a subject, but a method.
