Theory of Psi
Is this something real? I can't make heads or tails of it. Things happen because things happen and therefore psi answers every question? Google returns some stuff on "theory of psi" but those seem to be different (quantum mechanics and various parapsychological phenomena). No vote because I'm on a lower astral plane than what is required to understand this. Weregerbil 08:06, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hundreds of Google hits for "theory of psi", but all seem to refer to psychic powers/phenomena. This article, in other words, is stuff made up in schoo.  Delete. Vizjim 10:51, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete- It seems to be a rehashing of the ancient concept of "Shit happens". No citations, no relevant ghits, and it's vague, rambling trash. Reyk  YO!  11:05, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Weak delete Proclus seems to get a bit of a mention on at least one site relating to mysticism themes http://www.experiencefestival.com/proclus but the same site uses Psi to refer to Parapsychology research and abilities, not to the "theory of Psi" as described in this article. Anyone got time to delve a bit deeper into that site? Other Ghits seem to relate to astronomical themes (where psi is simply the Greek letter) or simply use PSI as the abbreviation/citation for a specific papyrus. Paddles 11:07, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Delete, parapsychologists occasionally use the concept of psi, but this article is just nonsense.
 * Strong delete, I can't see this as anything but a joke. LjL 17:38, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete This article doesnt really explain much to me, perhaps I am not understanding it, but there is also no sources or anything to verify the claims or support the belief. I too am wondering if its a joke of some sort. — Preceding unsigned comment added by zer0faults (talk • contribs)
 * Speedy delete as patent nonsense (CSD G1): "Content that, while apparently meaningful after a fashion, is so completely and irredeemably confused that no intelligent person can be expected to make any sense of it whatsoever." --Lambiam Talk 22:28, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
