I googled Entangled Minds, apparently "Entangled Minds: Extrasensory Experiences in a Quantum Reality" by Dean Radin. Immediately I thought "Oh, I guess that's quantum in the meaningless "woo" sense, like Deepak Chopra" and scrolling down the amazon page was a blurb by Chopra! – "Dean Radin brings parapsychology into mainstream science. The revolution has begun." Radin is a parapsychologist, even a former President of the Parapsychological Association. I consulted wikipedia on parapsychology, to refresh - it's been a very long while. The article begins
"Parapsychology is the study of alleged psychic phenomena (extrasensory perception, as in telepathy, precognition, clairvoyance, psychokinesis, a.k.a. telekinesis, and psychometry) and other paranormal claims, for example related to near-death experiences, synchronicity, apparitional experiences, etc. It is considered to be pseudoscience by a vast majority of mainstream scientists, in part because, in addition to a lack of replicable empirical evidence, parapsychological claims simply cannot be true "unless the rest of science isn't." ... Parapsychology has been criticised for continuing investigation despite being unable to provide convincing evidence for the existence of any psychic phenomena after more than a century of research."
Uh, possibly fair enough. But apparently in his book
"Radin shows how we know that psychic phenomena such as telepathy, clairvoyance, and psychokinesis are real, based on scientific evidence from thousands of controlled lab tests."
