Toward a Model Relating Empathy, Charisma, and Telepathy

Telepathy is often dismissed because it is judged to be so weird as
to be counterintuitive. This article argues that telepathy may be interpreted
as phenomenologically impressive events of a social psychological process
which in less dramatic instances would be termed empathy and charisma.
Such an equation, herein called the "possible world model," would perhaps
normalize telepathy, and lessen the opprobrium attached to its study.
A first step is taken to validate the model when a comparative literature
search finds that telepathy and empathy relate very similarly to other
experimental variables.
