Suppose the dead really want to communicate with the living-wouldn’t an e-mail be the most efficient (smallest use of energy) way to do it? forget moving a ouiji board pointer, or rapping on walls-composing an email would use a tinay amount of energy. have any such emails been reported? What’s the paprapsychol;ogist’s take on this?
Well, a ghost might find typing on a keypad even more energy-demanding.
He could manipulate the electrons, but ghosts are lousy coders.
Oh, great, now we get to discuss the Ghost in the Machine.
Oh, great. Business offers from dead Nigerians.
Maybe they could just answer those cell phones ringing in the pockets of the dead.
And top psychics all agree
That the telephone company
Will have a brand new service that lets you talk to the dead
–Weird Al Yankovic, “Midnight Star”
Anybody seen Serial Experiments Lain?
And here I expected a comment about this kind of service
