       | "PEAR conducted formal studies on two primary subject areas,
       | psychokinesis (PK) and remote viewing" ... "PEAR's results have
       | been criticized for deficient reproducibility.[16] In one
       | instance two German organizations failed to reproduce PEAR's
       | results, while PEAR similarly failed to reproduce their own
       | results.[13] An attempt by York University's Stan Jeffers also
       | failed to replicate PEAR's results.[9]"

       | Despite the small scale of the observed consciousness-related
       | anomalies, they could be functionally devastating to many types
       | of contemporary information processing systems, especially those
       | relying on random reference signals.. or to any other technical
       | scenarios where the emotions, attitudes, or purposes of human
       | operators may intensify and deepen their interactions with the
       | controlling devices and processes.. As cutting-edge
       | nanotechnology and quantum computing move into even more
       | delicately poised information processors, protection against such
       | consciousness-related interference could become increasingly
       | relevant..
