So that people would guess and then, only then, would the computer program assign the erotic image randomly to one or the other slot.

Yes. Okay. Wow. In the original study, people got this right more than 50% of the time.

Okay. There was a lot of attention on this study at the time. No doubt. Yeah, and skeptics said...

I believe so, yes. They actually controlled for people's sexual preferences. So if you wanted to see a willy, you might get to see a willy. If you wanted to see a boobie, you might get to see a boobie.

Yeah, so because a lot of skeptics said, like, we don't like this part of your methodology or this thing you did about your stats, what basically happened is that the skeptics and the believers got together, designed a new research protocol, designed a new study they both agreed on. They pre-registered it. They said, this is the protocol we're going to use. Great.

And this is how we're going to do it and how we're going to analyze it. Yes. It took five years. It took 10 labs participating. Yes. 30-ish authors, skeptics and believers working together to look to see, is there an effect here? Wow, a new future is possible. And what did they find? When all this was said and done.

We don't have the same exact thing for telepathy, but a lot of the... issues that this precognition study we're confronting are very similar to issues that people have with telepathy research. So I don't know. I think it's pretty damning to telepathy as well, but would love to see a similar group effort doing some of these studies.

I was hoping you wouldn't ask me that. Yeah. Yeah. Are they reaching for quantum physics here? Yes, they are. Quantum entanglement specifically, which is about like this weird connection between subatomic particles where they seem to influence each other. And it doesn't matter how far apart they are.

And I did actually I did talk to a physicist who I was referred to by someone who's who's sort of telepathy friendly as a physicist who's also telepathy friendly. He's open minded about it. And I asked him, does quantum entanglement, could that explain how telepathy works? And he said, no. And I said, do we have any known physical explanation for how telepathy could work? And he said, no.
