June 17, 2012 The Telepathy Game Suppose telepathy is possible; that is, human minds can communicate using some mechanism not among the known senses. There have been lots of suggestions for the mechanism of information transmission and reception, from brain waves of some form, to electromagnetic waves, to quantum effects, and more. Let’s agree to ignore this part of the story, and simply assume some type of telepathic communication exists in some type of people under some types of circumstances. We are proposing a thought experiment, something the physicists like to run. What we consider here are those that may be senders, receivers, both senders and receivers, and neither . All of the first three categories have something to do with person-to-person interactions; the fourth is not. A small list follows Senders: teachers, preachers, leaders, actors, parents. Receivers: students, psychologists, doctors, nurses Both senders and receivers: diplomats, politicians
