Anyway, these folks say they can even tell that there are artificial structures at this site with a laboratory. What’s more they can see that there are lifeforms there wearing uniforms, and there are more men than women

I'm not to clued up on Remote Viewing what is it??
I can play golf, but no amount of practice will ever make me as good as Tiger Woods. For the folks reading this chat, the likelihood is that you already have some talent, otherwise you wouldn't be interested in this topic and pursuing it seriously. But without talent and interest, I'm not sure there's a magic pill that will transform you into a super-psychic (although I've written a screenplay about this concept). About becoming more psychic: There are good reasons *not* to want to become highly psychic, because it carries a price. Super-sensitivity for some people is extremely disturbing. At extreme levels it can drive you nuts. So what we want is to turn it on and off at will, and that's where some native talent can help
Palyne_Gaenir: Do you see the scientific community at large beginning to accept that there
is in fact repeatable psi effects?
Dr._Dean_Radin: Privately and quietly, yes. Publicly, no. It's still very dangerous for one's
academic career to merely mention interest in this area. The academic situation is better
in the UK than most other countries. In the US it is paradoxically the kiss of death among
your peers but the public (and studies.
"We are well past the point of asking much less needing practical science to embrace Remote Viewing. It has done so even if reluctantly. anyone who challenges Remote Viewing's scientific basis, it's well established accuracy and its usefulness is retarded".

No evidence?
Maybe to start you should differentiate between Intelligence/Military era RV and public dissemination era.
There's legit evidence from the former. Latter just muddies the waters and that's irresistible for debunkers and pseudosceptics.edit on 12-6-2012 by uesvaje because: (no reason given)

ABSTRACT
Research on psychic functioning, conducted over a two decade period, is examined to determine whether or not the phenomenon has been scientifically established. A secondary question is whether or not it is useful for government purposes. The primary work examined in this report was government sponsored research conducted at Stanford Research Institute, later known as SRI International, and at Science Applications International Corporation, known as SAIC.
Using the standards applied to any other area of science, it is concluded that psychic functioning has been well established. The statistical results of the studies examined are far beyond what is expected by chance. Arguments that these results could be due to methodological flaws in the experiments are soundly refuted. Effects of similar magnitude to those found in government-sponsored research at SRI and SAIC have been replicated at a number of laboratories across the world. Such consistency cannot be readily explained by claims of flaws or fraud.
The magnitude of psychic functioning exhibited appears to be in the range between what social scientists call a small and medium effect. That means that it is reliable enough to be replicated in properly conducted experiments, with sufficient trials to achieve the long-run statistical results needed for replicability.
A number of other patterns have been found, suggestive of how to conduct more productive experiments and applied psychic functioning. For instance, it doesn't appear that a sender is needed. Precognition, in which the answer is known to no one until a future time, appears to work quite well. Recent experiments suggest that if there is a psychic sense then it works much like our other five senses, by detecting change. Given that physicists are currently grappling with an understanding of time, it may be that a psychic sense exists that scans the future for major change, much as our eyes scan the environment for visual change or our ears allow us to respond to sudden changes in sound.
It is recommended that future experiments focus on understanding how this phenomenon works, and on how to make it as useful as possible. There is little benefit to continuing experiments designed to offer proof, since there is little more to be offered to anyone who does not accept the current collection of data.
