I was trying to learn more about Japan's parapsychology craze in the 80s and 90s and was having a surprisingly difficult time finding good sources on Google. So I kept trying different search terms and finally this comes up

cia??? freedom of information act???

Anyway!! I clicked on it and the page is "down for maintenance" and I have never been more consumed with curiosity lmao.

I had no idea that Google would search through FOIA documents...

#I genuinely don't even know how to tag this lmao #I KNOW I HAVE NICHE INTERESTS BUT THEY'RE NOT LIKE... 'OF INTEREST TO THE GOVERNMENT' NICHE..#I remember reading an article about the institutes that did research on 'gifted' children in Japan...#I think Sony did one?#I showed dad late night with the devil the other night so I've been thinking about all that #I know more about the American parapsychology craze but I'd like to learn more about the Japanese one #I remember being really fascinated by the very different attitudes Americans vs Japanese have about NRMs and such #while I was taking a class on NRMs in college #and there's some overlap with the whole esper thing #don't mind me I'm just rambling about topics that like five other people on earth care about
