You are advocating nonreductionism and psi at the same time.
Supposing that you are right requires us to suppose that there is both a powerful argument against reductionism, and a powerful argument in favor of psi.
Supposing that you are a crank requires only one argument, and one with a much higher prior.
In other words, if you were advocating one outrageous theory, someone might listen. The fact that you are advocating two simultaneously makes dismissing all of your claims, without reading the book you recommend, the logical response. We thus don’t have to read it to have a rational basis to dismiss it.
