I think you should look more closely at the arguments I made above: my hypothesis makes testable predictions, but if verified the evidence isn’t reliably communicable to other people. By my hypothesis psi is perhaps “exploitable” but I cringe at the thought of trying to “exploit” a little-understood agentic process in the case that it actually exists.
A safety heuristic. Just say no to demons, for the same reason you should say no to drugs until you figure out what they are, what they do, and the intentions of the agent offering them to you.
