Can someone point me to a comprehensive meta analysis of (hopefully) ALL the published ESP studies that points out which ones had negative resulsts, which ones had positive results, and how it is believed the cheating/fudging/bad randomization was done?

When I google ESP meta all I get is garbage.:mad:

The US government spent millions on remote viewing research and came up with nothing.

I'd start with Dr. Blackmore's essay: "Why I have given up"

A meta-analysis of all ESP tests doesn't exist.

For something more specific (about the ganzfeld, ahem) you could do worse than look at this.

Psst. Hoist. One is hoist by own one's petard, not hung.

I think one is actually hoist "with" it, but I'm not sure why.

(Mine dropped off some years ago due to lack of use.)

A petard is a bomb is it not?

So one might be hoisted aloft by it's unexpectedly early detonation.

I can see how hanging comes into it?
