I dispute that much further investigation is actually needed, since several decades of investigation hasn't yielded anything positive.

You obviously haven't read any of the research, to make such an ignorant statement.

And as for the replicated experiments, you might ask yourself who's doing the replicating and why the results don't get published in reputable journals.

That's simple. What you call the "reputable journals" are almost invariably completely closeminded to the possibility of psi phenomena.

As for wasting breath... yeah. I came here thinking there might actually be some constructive discussion going on but it's more like a flat-earther meeting, with everyone sticking their fingers in their ears so they don't hear things they don't like. Knock yourselves out, guys - I'm outta here.

You came in, not having read the research, not having read any important summaries (like Irreducible Minds), proceded to attack the research with vague, general smears, did not follow up with specifics or studies that support your position.

The people here called you on your lack of content, and you realized that you don't actually know any specifics, just the bullet-items from so-called "skeptics" who don't have an ounce of skepticism about materialism. And now you're taking your ball and going home.
