Do you like liking to believe things for reasons other than their truth?
I should rephrase: I would like to accurately believe that the figure isn't very high.
I'm actually really uncertain about whether there's a meaningful distinction between "I want to sincerely and rationally believe x" and "I want x to be true" for a perfect Bayesian. For humans, of course, the distinction is enormous.
Ben Goertzel has a rather long psi-related article in Humanity Plus Magazine, apparently prompted by the recent precognition study to be published in Journal of Personality and Social Psychology. He's arguing that psi is real and we should expect to see the results of this study replicated.
