In an age where technology can read brainwaves, decode genetic sequences, and send robots to other planets, one might expect science to be open to investigating the mysteries of consciousness and extrasensory perception (ESP). Yet, despite over a century of credible reports, experiments, and firsthand accounts, mainstream science continues to treat ESP—the ability to perceive information beyond the five senses—as a taboo topic. The reasons behind this fear reveal more than simple skepticism; they expose deep biases within the scientific establishment and a broader societal pattern of denying or dismissing truths that challenge established narratives.
