Thread Name: BS: Telepathy. Experience? Explanation?
Subject: RE: BS: Telepathy. Experience? Ex[lanation?
Raggytash and I had a fair amount of disagreement in the folk club thread and we were not afraid to air it. That was an insulting remark, Keith. You never express any disagreement with members of your tribe here, though quite often their rants and insults must have you clenching your manly buttocks.

Thing about the hearing, Ebbie, is that the pointers to a perfectly scientific explanation were already there. We knew the structure of the mammalian ear and we understood the relationship between frequency and pitch. There was no need to go beyond science to solve the question. It was a matter of intelligent minds piecing together real clues. In order to "prove" telepathy you have to make assumptions to do the heavy lifting that go beyond the laws of nature. One day we may find that we didn't completely understand the laws of nature after all, and that there is a means by which animal tissue can both transmit and receive information across the ether without vision or sound. I'm a bit surprised that such an obvious-sounding phenomenon hasn't been teased out by now, that's all. Like Raggytash, I'm on the fence when it comes to the veracity of telepathy. However, in my case, from the telepathy side all you can see clinging on are the tips of my finger nails. I'm a bit like that with deities and fairies too.
