One person couldn't do it, but a whole community (like PsiWiki) could all contribute arguments from skeptics (which we counter) or arguments for psi, and we could post it here and on other communities. most evidence for psi is personal experience and there is nothing wrong in believing something you saw whoever when you want to convince somebody else then the situation changes

i could tell you i felt someone's thoughts inside my head as if they were mine but in the end even if that is true to me to somebody else this is no different from christian who said he heard god's voice in his head and even if i get this person thoughts right that could be dismissed as a lucky guess

of course this story changes when we are talking about things like telekinesis, its way harder to see a object moving without it actually moving but just like before i can tell somebody i saw an object float and i will be no different from somebody who says he saw an pink elephant

this is a warning if you practice things like lucid dreaming, tulpas, obe, prolonged meditation etc... you will often suffer from hallucinations and this is natural its a consequence of the sensory deprivation caused by these exercises so even if you actually see something obviously not real dont think everything you see its not real its actually normal if this happen to you

the psychic community is partially faulty for that we have the tendency of act as if we knew how it works but the truth is we dont in fact nobody truly knows how it works, its like the rain dance it does have a actual principle behind it but the people who do it doesnt have the slightest idea instead they think the dance and the gods are responssible for the rain
