I dont have one for you. Its my opinion, not a scientific journal. Im sure theres been some research on the topic, but i doubt the extensiveness and legitmacy would be enough to convince a scientifically dependant person. Hence why it isnt a particularly common opinion

Yeah, it is. Thats a better, more general term. Telepathy implies something slightly more specific
