You've succumbed to one too many conspiracy theories.

All over the map. Currently rereading Henry Millers works.

Like the topic of Cancer and Capricorn and Nexus and Plexus and Sexus and so forth?
My brother was a big fan of him and gave me some of his works. I did like them, like a less depressing and disturbing William Burroughs.

Haven't read those yet.
I will say that I am confident that if you actually take the time to read the OP as a work of speculative fiction (as it was intended) you will find it enjoyable, informative and entertaining.
So far all the feedback I have received falls into two categories "I loved it" and "I didn't read it".

Where else did you publish it ? 
Sorry for me it's a wall of text. Kind of a short story... I tried to start several times, but I imagine if that style continues the whole text, then it's hard work to read.
Can you compress the content of it somehow ? Or better post it in poetry forum ?

Remote viewing, or the ability to project ones consciousness to a distant location, makes it possible to see and hear events taking place at a distance, referred to as clairvoyance and clairaudience respectively.

However, modern neurochemicals and digital interface systems have enhanced the reliability of remote viewing techniques considerably.
For those not well versed in comparative math, zero percent efficacy is not an improvement.

It's 14 pages in paragraph form, so if that's too much reading for you I recommend just reading it a few paragraphs at a time . If you've ever read a book this should be easy going however, although the language is a bit dense.
I also published it in the pub where its gotten some positive responses, and also through my peer network with a positive reception.
I'm happy to get good or bad reviews, I just appreciate when people take the time to read it.
I can't really compress it any more than it is, although it could be broken up into topical chapters.
I would love to see someone try to turn it into a poem, but I won't attempt that myself

Its science fiction silly pants. Its based on real research, but its speculative fiction, as I already pointed out.

Futurology was written partly in order to construct a setting for a character driven science fiction narrative. If you would like to read that story, it can be found in this thread (page 2):

Nope. The amount that you wiggle to cover your dishonesty is quite amazing and not at all spiritual.

As per usual, you need to be spoon-fed on obvious points.
For the hard of reading: DO YOU BELIEVE REMOTE VIEWING IS A REAL ABILITY?

You have severely dysfunctional communication skills.
I do not know if remote viewing is a real ability or not. I have read that it is, and I suspect it may be, but I do not know for sure one way or the other.
Now I will ask you a question. How old are you these days?
And why are you so cantankerous all the time?

No, words alone are not convincing. That's why I said I don't know for sure one way or the other.
You really are sort of having a conversation with yourself, it would seem.

It must suck imagining things that piss you off all the time.
You should try piracetam, noopept and citicoline.
