I seem to remember reading somewhere that if ESP were real, then its explanation would lie in the realm of physics instead of psychology.

...except that it's not real.

To date, all claims of paranormal ability have failed to show results when submitted to proper controlled experimental conditions.

Define "real." And then test it under controlled experimental conditions.

Phil Dick said reality is that which, when you try to ignore it, doesn't go away.

That would make belief in ESP real, as the scientific community continues to ignore it, yet it persists.

Not exactly. Standford university performed a study on remote viewing (funded by the CIA) that had quite a bit of success. For what its worth, it was dicussed on nightline with ex-CIA director Stansfield Turner.
