I think one reason why so many people are scared to open the door to the paranormal is because it takes away their ability to gauge what they should believe in. If psi is real, what else is? It’s a total slippery slope with no brakes on it. 1/

Without a foundation of science and reason to build our beliefs on we’re like the roadrunner cartoon where he goes off the cliff but doesn’t fall because he never studied the law (of gravity). This is why people like Radin and Puthoff are adamant about scientific testing. 2/

I’m exploring “Probably not, but what if?”
What of aliens and fairies are two names for the same thing? What if some people really can move things with their mind? What if Bigfoot is not a myth, or an ape, but a liminal being? What if performing magic spells really works?

And as it turns out, with many of these topics when I explore them I find that there’s a similar level of evidence to what there was for psi before people like Radin, Targ, Puthoff, and others tried applying genuine science to it.
Suddenly the whole world looks full of magic. 4/

I accept that some things are random. But I also believe in synchronicities, which means that I now believe some things aren’t. I suddenly have an entire spectrum—a veritable Zeno’s paradox of possibility—spreading from ‘everything is random’ to ‘nothing is random.’ 5/

Something gave me a gentle shove away from that safe point at the far end and now I’m like a giraffe in a skating rink flailing about wildly wondering what the fuck ‘Reality’ used to mean, as the safe ubiquity of randomness recedes into forever into the distance. 6/6
