So. paranormality is a real thing - it is not an empty set of phenomena. But who will believe this? Who will investigate it further? No one! It doesn't fit with our mental schemas, so it gets ignored. Forever.

Quite a tragic outcome for such a potentially hugely disruptive area of research.

I think this document (assuming it's not a hoax) is evidence that it doesn't get ignored.

The thing to do here is get Penn (of Penn and Teller) to check out these subjects. ;-)
