Not much meat on the bone here, but always fun to think about. Until you reach the part of the article where this bastion of critical thinking drops this bit into the text:

Electrosensitive. Got it. I guess that's suddenly a thing, and not an imaginary condition.


Maybe we should put a bunch of electrosensitives in a field somewhere and let them detect extraterrestrial signals with their mysterious magical malady?
