SCIENCE
The Reality of Telepathy
In this skeptical and somewhat exasperated response, Reptiliandude addresses humanity’s persistent obsession with sci-fi concepts like time travel and telepathy. He debunks the romanticized view of telepathy, exposing it as a brutal, heavily augmented, and messy process that invariably requires a sacrifice to maintain a reliable link, while defending spoken language as a beautifully efficient form of communication. Turning to real-time interstellar communication, the narrator points out that the necessary technology is actually an offshoot of the sustainable nuclear fusion reactors humanity is currently trying to build. He notes with pity that human scientists have already created a vital component for this cosmic telephone, yet remain completely oblivious to its alternative function. Concluding with heavy wordplay, he leaves the technological purpose of the Egyptian pyramids for humanity to solve independently, cryptically hinting at its function by referencing a stuck “record needle” tracing a series of tracks over “heavy Stones.”
