Ethan's Message: Choosing a Hard Life

This might be one of the only times telepathy was captured in a controlled lab.

Ky Dickens is an award-winning filmmaker known for documentaries that tackle complex social issues and drive cultural change. In 2024, she created The Telepathy Tapes, a viral podcast exploring telepathy in the non-speaking community that reached #1 globally and won a Webby Award.

In this episode, we get into a filmed triple-blind telepathy experiment conducted in a controlled lab setting. Participants separated by distance began describing locations they had never physically seen. Ky shares, “We caught it all on camera… it might be one of the most spontaneous validations of telepathy or remote viewing ever happened in a lab.”

We also talk through her shift from traditional documentary work into studying non-speaking individuals, where communication through spelling appears to reveal consistent access to information beyond conventional sensory input. From there, we explore near-death experiences, creative inspiration, and scientific efforts to examine consciousness through measurable methods.

If you’ve ever been curious about telepathy, remote viewing, autism, or the nature of consciousness, this episode looks at what emerges when these phenomena are observed repeatedly under controlled conditions.
