But Where Are You Really From?: An Asian-American Struggle

170. Can You Read My Mind?


Listen Later

Do you believe in telepathy or ESP-like phenomena? This week we discuss "The Telepathy Tapes," a podcast that explores if non-verbal autistic individuals have the ability to read minds.


The ability to look into another's mind is considered a fantastical power, but what would it take to convince you that it is real in certain individuals? In-house "woo woo" Angela and "skeptic" Jesse debate the ways that the podcast presents this concept. Many of these non-verbal individuals engage in something called "spelling", where they point at letters or otherwise type out words that someone in the room is thinking. While this ability appears to be compelling, the skeptics may be prone to believe there is some creative storytelling to this series rather than concrete explanations.


Regardless of your belief in telepathy, we encourage you to explore the podcast series yourself, if for nothing else, a bit of entertainment as it's quite interesting.


Do you believe that telepathy may be possible? Let us know in the poll or comments!
