Yes, I am stating that research into paranormal mental powers
such as telepathy, psychic abilities, and mind-over-matter, is
in fact voodoo science or pathological science. Such may also
fall under pseudoscience if the researcher is depending upon
supernatural explanations.

The key thing to realize is that when these researchers claim
they have proven these abilities to be real they are talking
about results that are so incredibly small beyond the
statistical average that it's hard to rule out error or bias. I
seriously doubt such a stance weakens my argument by making me
appear uninformed.

There's absolutely no need to invoke quantum mechanics.
Also, physicists would not be using terms like metaphysics
with regards to science.

Yes and it also is a possible explanation for the other mental
abilities of the aliens. What is remarkable is that the
technology of Brain-Computer Interface is capable of a wide-
variety of expression and can be inferred to be the technology
that is involved in other reported observations from abductees.

An alternative hypothesis would be that the aliens are fully
robotic and contain no organic systems in their bodies. I only
slightly touched on this. The reason why I didn't address it
outright is because it would disprove or significantly modify
certain aspects of the abduction phenomenon and I feared the
line of reasoning would be to complex for many to follow, or to
complex for me to properly communicate. However, I do admit that
my observations can be interpreted as the aliens being either
cyborgs or fully robotic.

Yes. It's possible.

I'm not sure if you read my blog, but choosing biologically
engineered telepathy is not the logical choice as one
would be invoking a mystery in order to explain a mystery.

The distinction behind the mechanism is extremely important. To
put it frankly, it's just not logical to argue for naturally
evolved telepathy or biologically engineered telepathy when we
are currently creating synthetic or technological telepathy.

Sure the probability for naturally evolved and biologically
engineered telepathy isn't zero, but it's pretty darn close to
it.

I would suggest researching more into the subject of Brain-
Computer Interfaces. This technology will revolutionize the
world.

I'm not just talking about synthetic telepathy, I'm talking
about driving a car by thought alone, surfing the Internet by
thought alone, playing video games by thought alone, operating
kitchen appliances and other devices by thought alone. I'm
talking about controlling robots by thought alone and of fully
functional robotic prosthetics.

I mention fully functional robotic prosthetics because this
technology is the means by which we will create advanced
cyborgs. By advanced cyborgs I am referring to beings who are
born cyborgs, having the technology Incorporated into the fetus.
These beings would never experience life as a 'normal' human.

When you think you understand the potential of Brain- Computer
Interface then go back and look at the reports of abductees.
It's amazing how so much of alien technology is remarkably
similar to Brain- Computer Interface.
