I wonder, if it's a human thing that every age gets stuck behind the wall of the known? Today, I might say it was intentional, a conspiracy where some folks who might be ahead of society want to stay ahead of society, but all the examples you provide, or the way you share it, sound more like humans being naturally self-limiting.

One of the stories I heard about Hans Berger, a german psychiatrist, was that he had an anomalous experience, where he had knowledge of his father's death prior to the delivery of said news. He spent the rest of his days trying to prove a transmission of information, ESP if you will, and was ridiculed by his peers. Because of his research, he invented the EEG- and it was poorly received, nearly rejected, but now that tech is instrimental in understanding the brain.

Maybe he didn't prove ESP, but for science to continuously dismiss anamalous human events as just coincedence may be missing out on the next serendipitous discovery. It's where we don't look that we will find all the secrets to the universe, hidden in plain sight.

Wilhelm Reich's story on the other hand, the villanous way he was attacked, the way Nicola Tesla was increasingly diminished returns me to thinking conspiracy. I would like to have a better way of boxing this side of the story. I would like to think, even after UFOs are real, and we're galavanting around the Universe- we don't miss the next evolutionary step because we think we know it all.
