Oh, come on. Wistfully thinking something would be cool if it were real in no way "demeans nature". I have seen plenty of (so-called) scientific studies on psychic abilities and always find my self wishing it actually were true. Telekinesis would make life so much fun! Unfortunately, all such studies ultimately prove to be flawed and/or biased and provide no actually evidence (for obvious reasons).
I still think it is a fun idea, though. That might explain my preoccupation with superheroes.
