In a recent discussion, Janyce Boynton critiques the pseudoscience of facilitated communication (FC), which claims to help non-verbal individuals express themselves. Despite its resurgence, especially through the podcast “The Telepathy Tapes,” FC lacks scientific backing. Boynton highlights how its proponents resort to special pleading, using concepts like telepathy and synesthesia to explain away failures in evidence. This kind of magical thinking can harm vulnerable individuals, making it crucial to rely on rigorous scientific methods to discern reality from fantasy.
