13. No prior plausibility, and those arguing for it make statements which are falsified.

Plus, there is zero evidence that telepathy and telekinesis exist. Telepathy has been studied for a long, long time with zero compelling positive results. When one looks at the scientific literature on it, there is no effect. Therefore, it is reasonable to state that telepathy and telekinesis are likely not real.

I would willingly change my mind on this if there were compelling evidence that supported such thing. Sadly, for the proponents, there is none.

That's why I feel comfortable making such statements as I have here.

Thanks for the question.
