- Maybe is such a little word.... No. We don't want maybe's or if's. We
- want to know what is probable, what has been tested. Parapsycholgists
- have spent over a century banging away at this and have found nothing.
- Just some anecdotal tales that are in the overall end, meaningless. A
- lot of people have tried a lot of approaches to this, and there is not
- the slightest evidence that we can learn to do these things. Suggesting
- computers will help is just a pipe dream. There is not the slightest
- reason to even hope that it will.
-
- Better to figure out a way to use technology to give a pretty good
- imitation of these things. millenia of magicians, mystics, priests and
- mystics failed to teach man to fly. Engineering did.
