In the buddhist sutras they talked about supernatural powers acquirable, but clearly no buddhists have been able to demonstrate them. Just a bunch of liars.

There are some true siddhis, none of them are anything which science doesn't already acknowledge though. Most valid siddhi, that is real powers, are simple things we already know though which take a significant degree of practice to produce such as lucid dreaming, visualization, elation, bliss, the jhanas, etc. The coolest thing I know of, though never discussed as a siddhi despite being the most magical thing I've witnessed in connection with yoga, is kundalini. Again nothing which isn't easily explained with science. There are also things which are far more difficult to qualify/quantify, things likely caused by quantum entanglement or some similar physical mechanism, 'magic' as many occultists think of it, in practice it's like the generation of strange synchronicity through different types of mental excitation, and is hardly ever reliable. It's my guess anyone that practices seriously and consistently enough with the proper techniques to bring them about will experience the jhanas and kundalini and that is likely enough to satisfy most people's desire for weird experience.

people need tangible measurable evidence, not because some schizo said so

they probably won't manage to do this.

you'd need mind reading technology. it can and has been done but most of the scientific community doesn't have access to it. it's not THAT impressive either. the philosophy and practice is really the true value, the stuff i'm describing are like amusements for meditation. none of it is that crazy. the 'quantum entanglement' stuff may be possible to demonstrate with AI and constant surveillance of the person engaged in the practice or being experimented on themselves but there still isn't much point to it and it's still difficult to qualify/quantify even with that.

people really ought to just practice and not worry quite so much with parapsychology beyond producing similar phenomena themselves, which is very possible and the obvious easiest way to obtain 'proof,' at least for oneself.

Nobody capable of quantum probability manipulation or societal manipulation is going to submit themselves to the psychotic meatgrinder of the academic community for study. The entire point of occult practice is to overcome hylic scum, the individualism of it is so far beyond the retards with their 'sample sizes' that they cannot possibly comprehend it. Anybody who's honed these instincts knows that throwing pearls to the swine is the worst possible use of such powers.

people definitely would they just most likely will never get the opportunity even if they wanted to. someone my already be doing it, doubtful we'll ever hear of it, and it really isn't that useful in the first place, just a strange parapsychological anecdote.
