If they were real we could study them scientifically but every attempt to do so has produced bupkus. That said we still have plenty to learn about the experience of consciousness so it's worth keeping an open mind.
That research had very serious flaws and didn't hold up to scrutiny. There's some writing on it here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remote_viewing#Scientific_reception
Martin Gardner has written that the founding researcher Harold Puthoff was an active Scientologist prior to his work at Stanford University, and that this influenced his research at SRI.
You're exactly right. It's always so telling when people who are "invested" in these go to proselytize to amateurs who are low information people rather than discuss the topic with those actually familiar with the studies.
It's just tired and really shows their hand that they won't engage with experts of psychology to try to show/convince them with the mountain of evidence that supposedly exists. It's the "canola oil causes cancer" of psychology.

Hexbear scientology arc
Yeah he's a crank of course.
Yeah that all looks legit. The main reason I think it's true is because I've tried it myself and it just works too well to be explained by cope.
What sort of things have you witnessed?

Remote viewing isn't interesting or useful or anything like other psychic abilities are. But it's easy and everyone can do it.
What a mad sentence! What do you mean? How could you say that?
Wikipedia is not a reliable source.
While I understand that's usually a great point in discussions on hexbear, It's perfectly adequate topics which aren't policitcally charged.
There are organised brigading groups deliberately tilting Wikipedia to their bias.
This is well-documented; they're surprisingly brazen about it.
It is particularly bad for charged/controversial topics like this.
That's not true there's mountains of research. You could dismiss it if you were so inclined but it's not true to say no evidence has been produced.
This is the exact same thing Young Earth Creationists say.
