Do you guys think the human race would ever evolve enough to have telekinesis?
Also is such a thing even possible?

>> No.5175589

Postscript should have been your main question.

>evolve enough

Evolution is not an improvement scale, it is merely the process of adapting to survive to conditions in a changing world. There's no "more" or "less" evolved, only that which survives.

Are you asking this because your watching Shinsekai Yori?

Highly unlikely...but if by some odd unforeseen event we are force to utilize echolocation, and magnetoception more while some radical form of horizontal gene transfer some how allowed us the ability of electroreception. We might be able to perform some off shoot of clairvoyance thats different from how we currently perceive reality.

But being able to move objects with the mind? Save that for the machines, BCI.

Is it possible to move something that is unconnected to neuronal signals threw thought? No
But would you count telekinesis as being in your room with every neuron in your brain connected to the internet which is connected to the light switch and your thoughts turn said switch on and off? If so then yes TK is possible

How is any of that being clairvoyant? Unless you classify seeing as clairvoyance

Just make sure to install norton antivirus if you do this over the internet and not just LAN

Reality is independent of our consciousness, so there is no possible way we would ever develop special "mind" powers.

>> No.5176314

There is no possible way that biological entities as we know them can impart a force on an object without obvious direct interaction.

Ultrasonic lifting...okay, possible but you'd need a biological generator of ultrasound, not really possible

its all fantasy

You're welcome.

Humans are evolving all the time, though we are not seeing anything of it, because it gets washed out anyway, because the mutations happening are not the ones surviving more than others.
And I would assume some groups of humanity are still evolving due to needing to survive.

>> No.5176503

> evolve
yeah... no.

We may just get advanced enough nanotechnology to turn the surface of the earth into grey goo in the shape of a biosphere in which semi-organic humans live whose thoughts can be read and obeyed by the grey goo environment, therefore granting these posthumans physical telekinesis, though.

As it is said, sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.

>> No.5176516

If telekinesis was really possible I doubt humans would be the first organisms to evolve it.

>> No.5176577

First, OP, find a mechanism or physical event that MIGHT link thought and matter.

THEN, you can talk about whether it can evolve.

The mind does precious little to its environment; it is silly to consider TK a possibility.

>> No.5176887

biologically not, technologically yes. biologically just if tech and bio mix themselves
