"Work in this field is a complete waste of time," said Peter Atkins, Professor of Chemistry at the University of Oxford. "Although it is politically incorrect to dismiss ideas out of hand, in this case there is absolutely no reason to suppose that telepathy is anything more than a charlatan's fantasy."
"A stunning survey of the latest evidence for intelligent life on Mars. Mac Tonnies brings a thoughtful, balanced and highly accessible approach to one of the most fascinating enigmas of our time."
--Herbie Brennan, author of Martian Genesis and The Atlantis Enigma
"Tonnies drops all predetermined opinions about Mars, and asks us to do the same."
--Greg Bishop, author of Project Beta
"I highly recommend the book for anyone interested in the search for extra-terrestrial artifacts, and the political intrigues that invariably accompany it."
--David Jinks, author of The Monkey and the Tetrahredron
"Mac Tonnies goes where NASA fears to tread and he goes first class."
--Peter Gersten, former Director of Citizens Against UFO Secrecy

The programmatic "skeptics" of telepathy are coming from the same science fundie mindset as Face skeptics. "It can't be therefore it isn't." (And anyone who thinks differenly must be excommunicated from the Church of Orthodox Science.)

Sad, isn't it? Seriously. This sort of dogmatic approach to the unexplained makes me mad.

Actually, it more saddens than angers me (although I can understand your reaction too). It's depressing because it reveals the rather severe mental limits and strictures that constrain the world's scientific/intellectual community. These are basically the same mental types who in previous lives probably persecuted people like Copernicus and Tycho Brahe for proposing the heliocentric theory of the solar system. They're so closed-minded, they're not even willing to entertain the POSSIBILITY of alternative knowledge and explanation. Given the history of science, if nothing else, they really ought to know better.
