Key Notes
The calculating horse is interpreted as room-reading empathy, not arithmetic: animal perception notices excitement, breath, and anticipation.
Jiang says supposed telepathy in autistic children is not mind-reading but can be a hidden sensory-emotional language between people who love each other.
Telepathy is redefined as emotional connection: not literal mind-reading, but knowing how another being feels even before conscious thought.
He says psychohistory contains not only a promise of future prediction but also a promise that unrealized capacities of the human mind might be developed.
Jiang speculates that historical edge cases or great men can be understood as telepaths who can read and control minds.
He uses Putin as an example of someone who, without special elite background, amassed enough power that Russia moves according to his command.
