Here's an unpopular point of view. I believe we have telepathy already - but we repress it consciously or unconsciously for the simple reason that down that road lies madness. Let's say for example that people can telepath. How do you turn it on or off? Maybe you can't turn it off: that is the definition of insanity. You hear voices talking to you and they never shut up. Or, you have an argument with someone, but they are telepathic. When they leave the room, you still hear them shouting at you - the argument goes on and on even though physically you are no longer in the same place. Definition of insanity right there. Who would want that? No one really. Telepathic ability is repressed for good and logical reasons. Why would you want telepathy? So you can know what people are thinking without asking them? Wouldn't that be a huge invasion of privacy? Would you want people finding out your thoughts without your permission? Another nightmare scenario. If you think about it long enough - telepathy is a truly bad idea.
