How do AI fanboys explain telepathy and precognition ? In the case of

such phenomena have any chance of being explained ?
We don't live in the real world, rather in the virtual world generated
by our brains. Illusions such as optical illusions:

auditory illusions such as McGurk effect:

clearly demonstrates this. The virtual representation of the real
world isn't perfect; because we experience the former directly and can
only infer something about the latter indirectly, this means that we
can sometimes experience things that seem to violate the laws of physics.
Which in turn means we do access the real world, otherwise we wouldn't
know that some impressions are illusions. Whether we "live in it" or
not is then a matter of degree. A degree inconsistent with a lot of
woo-woo.
