So we should assume no non-physical systems exist? And discourage the study of such a thing because reasons?

How does the observer effect work?

Yes. In exactly the same way we assume that bigfoot doesn't exist. Or ghosts. Or leprechauns.

This is very basic scientific reasoning, friend.

Having had paranormal experiences myself, I find myself questioning pretty much everything. I appreciate your reply, thank you.

That's fine. Just understand that modern science will likely explain this by a malfunction of your senses - because no evidence of paranormal activity has ever been shown.

If you want to argue outside of science you should state it up front - especially on a site like this.
