Actually it does Paul, psi is almost certainly being produced by an external mind, due to natural selection.

When someone accepts the evidence for weak psi, it is true one can argue psi is a brain function but only *until* they witness stronger psi (no matter how rare or erratic) - then psi cannot be viewed as a brain function anymore because if psi was a brain function it would have evolved to be commonly strong but it hasn't. The fact psi hasn't evolved to be commonly strong means psi is being filtered out. The brain evolved to filter out psi , that is why it is commonly found weak (i.e. a borderline effect in parapsychology trials and why it is also very rarely and erratically strong (sporadic breakthroughs in brain filtering).
