Of all the reasons for Barber et al to encourage people to utilize psi\u2014other than attempting to manipulate public perception\u2014doesn’t the idea of a honeypot seem the most fitting?<\/p>\n
Consider this: if psi is becoming increasingly rare, or perhaps is already a rare skill, identifying individuals who are proficient in it and knowing their locations could prove useful. What if you prompted a group of individuals to reach out in a manner that’s visible to you? Instead of managing their fears through protective measures, you encourage them to set those fears aside.<\/p>\n
This way, you gain insight into those who still possess sensitivity to psi, while keeping actual scientific validation out of reach for the majority. This also allows you to avoid drawing the attention of fellow ufology enthusiasts onto your activities.<\/p>\n
Of course, this assumes that the underlying intention isn\u2019t about manipulating a former subculture that’s now trained to await \u2018Official Whistleblowers\u2019. If we operate under the assumption that goodwill is merely a fa\u00e7ade, wouldn’t it make sense to disseminate something advantageous for yourself? After all, no one typically shares secretive insights without expecting something in return.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
