Looks interesting, I'll give it a browse. Interestingly I tend to avoid researching into subjects without taking the most basic framework and practicing it on my own first. I like to get as close to an unbiased opinion of the core concepts as possible, and then if it seems worth understanding more of I'll find good books, or if possible IRL experts. Fun fact, most experts will carve off an hour or more for you if you're legitimately interested in their subject and you can hang with it intellectually.

As did the G.A.T.E program for special education

I usually bring this up, high-IQ people and ESP/psychic effects. I was in GATE for my entire school career and we were given ESP tests and even entire modules every single year. Hah, I was always shit at them, I'm still not much of a mindreader. I've had some friends who were 10/10 on that stuff, though. You can't see someone be correct dozens of times in a row and not expect some mechanisms at play there.
