He was very adamant that this is the case, but he’s not some dipshit who gets all his info from reactionary sources, so I’m wondering where he got that specific number from. Anyone heard of it? The “60 years behind” thing I mean?

From what I’ve read about it it sounded like a bit of a disaster, but I’m sure they wouldn’t tell us the good shit.

I doubt they had good enough experimental controls to get useful data and were basically just torturing random people, but even a result of negative provides useful information. People are often incredulous that so much research was done on ESP and psychic powers, but up until that point no one had actually done the research, so it wasn’t actually known if there was anything to it or not.
