Why do 90% of the population take an interest in para psychological phenomena, but science and academia chooses mostly to ignore it?

Many people believe that "PSI" is just superstitious nonsense. Others believe that their experiences are consistent enough to warrant further investigation and make them into believers. The skeptics hit back by saying that their are "trillions of experiences in the world, and the select few which make news are not normal". Yet, when these things are test empirically - they cannot be ignored.

In popular culture this is talked about a great deal - it is a compelling topic. But for a scientist to study it, is a TABOO. This may be because TABOO in science restricts inquiry, and restricts what ideas are acceptable. A TABOO in science is where informed consensus is constrained, and science rests on informed consensus. All this means is that this TABOO is sustained, as has been the case for hundreds of years.

But here is the thing. There have been four studies done on science (which are disclosed), they were 1981, Congressional Research Science; 1985, Army Research Institute; 1987, National Research Council and 1989 Office of Technology Assessment. All four of them concluded, something interesting was going on and further investigation was necessary. This research included skeptics.

In 1995, a review of "remote viewing" evidence for CIA (1995) resulted in conclusions such as: "Using standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established", while a skeptic who oversaw the study remarked "..free of methodological weaknesses ..effect sizes ..are too large and consistent to be dismissed as statistical flukes..".

Dean Radin - the renowned scientist and expert from Institute of Noetic Sciences - recently was invited to the world's largest technology company - Google - to educate their employees on intuition and para psychological phenomena.

Something interesting is going on..

Dean Radin, PhD, is Senior Scientist at the Institute of Noetic Sciences (IONS). His first career as a concert violinist shifted into science after earning a masters degree in electrical engineering and a PhD in psychology from the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana. Before joining the research staff at IONS, he held appointments at Princeton University, University of Edinburgh, University of Nevada, and three Silicon Valley think-tanks where he worked on a classified program investigating psychic phenomena for the US government. He is an author of over 200 articles, a dozen book chapters, and several books including the bestselling The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds. He has been interviewed for television shows ranging from Oprah and Larry King Live, to the BBC’s Horizon and PBS's Closer to Truth, and he has presented over a hundred invited lectures in venues including Harvard, St
