Scientific evidence is through experiments using the scientific method, which tries to eliminate bias. The wikipedia article provides both adequate and inadequate experiments. You are biased and you're "testing" in uncontrolled environments. You could hardly call it evidence.

You are cherry picking and only acknowledging information that supports telepathy. You are ignoring the evidence against it, which takes majority. Why?
Your criticisms are reasonable ones.
The scientific method aims to refine theories based on new and best available evidence. There isn't compelling scientific evidence supporting telepathy, but the fallibility of human vision is extensively documented. So how come you think it's 50/50?
Do you think we'll get to that advanced level of use without experiments? And do you think that this is wrong despite consent to the procedure?
Can you take a moment and imagine some possibilities of taking input directly from someone's mind and applying it without needing to use your body? I know moving a mouse doesn't seem impressive, but it demonstrates success at a technological concept that still seems impossible. I can't speak for the ethics because I don't know how voluntary the subjects are for the research, but this is very exciting for me, because it will inevitably become more sophisticated.
that's cute!
I have a question. Do you truly think it's more likely that something extraordinary is occurring, rather than concluding humans aren't built perfect? Or is it more exciting to believe that something cool and magical is happening, and you perhaps choose to pursue that possibility?
And I think it's a result of our evolutionary trait of being very sensitive to people looking at us. If we see someone out of the corner of our eye looking at us it alerts us. And if we truly can't see them, we can't tell at all, but checking to see if they're looking at you makes them feel stared at, so they'll look at you back. Is that confusing?
Wikipedia sums it up well. In proper scientific tests, it's fruitless.
Hey cool! I'm native and I still don't always know if the way I'm talking is correct, but nobody really cares. If they do and take issue with it, it's not worth worrying about.
Unrelated, but I've never seen someone use the word "assume" that way before. It technically works, I think?
Did you intend this to be relevant?
