The Evolution of Telepathy | Trinity College, Cambridge (Rupert Sheldrake)

An excellent look into research conducted to show that telepathy is real - something that many who have experienced the phenomena already know. The video opens by pointing out that many scientists have been against the idea of telepathy since the Enlightenment because it was seen as something akin to religion and superstition. It is generally true that a lot of people have a psychological aversion in accepting the possibility of telepathy, and this is compounded by the role (academic) skeptics play with their ridicule of it - where they seem to act as disinformation artists rather than rational critics. For those with inquiring and rational minds, it's obvious there is a real phenomena at play. 

Videos like this help you to understand proper scientific processes, especially starting with taking anecdotal accounts seriously and actually INVESTIGATING things. Lacking curiosity is not scientific. Without it we'd be nowhere.
