assistant: If human telepathy exists, and if human telepathy is a survival charac-
teristic [in evolutionary terms], then telepathy would be common in
humans.  As telepathy has not been confirmed in humans, then either
telepathy does not exist, or it is not a survial characteristic.  And
if telepathy existed and worked reliably, we wouldn't need telephones.
Note: an old SF story posited that a breeding Psi population removed
itself from Earth, to build their own society.  They became a dead-
end, quickly surpassed by the "normals" who just kept on building
better commo systems, starships, etc.  Moral: machines evolve faster.
