Elliot,
If you want to look at serious research into claims of paranormal effects, you
might want to look up the Princeton Engineering Anomalies Research page. They do
(or used to) claim to have replicable, but very difficult to interpret data
backing up their claims. It certainly would not come up to the "mind reading"
level since it consists of very tiny statistical effects.
Happily, as an anthropologist, you don't have to believe or disbelieve in this
stuff. All you have to know is that others do. ;-) Good luck with Chris, I
burned a lot of electrons explaining why post-modernism is bogus, and I am still
not certain he really got it.
