It'd be very easily to experimentally verify, but it hasn't been.

I figured that people wouldn't waste their time doing something that is impossible. There are many websites about learning telekinesis where people talk about their experiences and whatnot.

You give them far too much credit.

Or maybe they're all doing it for the same reason you're doing it.

If telekinesis even had a slight chance of existing, it would have been discovered and harnessed by corporations already. The military would use it for new types of weaponry, it would be used in factories to increase productivity and would pretty much be part of our daily lives. Not to mention the fact that some people would have discovered it on their own and proven their powers in a public place. Don't believe everything you read.

Well if we are still saying that telekinesis and Chi are the same, then it has. Chi masters are master level martial artists who use Chi energy as opposed to brute strength in there fighting. In my opinion this counts as using it in the military. BUT this fighting is useless against guns so is now outdated. People still practice it as an art to this day. The corporate choose not to involve themselves in things that not everybody believes exist. The same way lucid dreaming isn't corporately mainstream, because not everybody thinks it is normal.

This monk supposedly harnesses Chi to create a force around his gut and head protecting him from this drill bit. Still not proof but cool. Shaolin Monk harnesses Qi to drill his head? - YouTube

Indeed, this is a very strange video. The idea of the existence of Chi is a very strange one to me but even if I actually had the power and was able to use it in this way, I would not test it with a drill to my throat >.<
However, I consider telekinesis to be in an entirely different class as you are not physically using any parts of your body to make contact with the object that you are moving. Perhaps it has the same root as the power of Chi, but I personally see it as something different.

You are a very interesting person.

Well, it's possible to learn to use it in a violent way and to kill, but it's a way shorter if they train the soldiers how to use their weapons, thus some close combat techniques, and if they would still like to train them, it takes really really really really really really really really long years to achieve it, (if they ever can master it) and if they'll somehow still have the will to do harm to anyone after dozens of meditations.

Edit: Stopping a bullet with the energy... well, I think not even the biggest masters could do that, surely not from an assault rifle.

Chi doesn't necessarily involve touching the object either. I once read a book on chi written by a chinese tai chi master and it is said that one of the first master of chi deflected arrows without touching them.
Personally I think that f it were true it would be using the exact same type of force.

This is the kind of thing that I really do want to believe in but as a man of logic and reasoning, I cannot possibly say that I believe in such things without conclusive evidence or conducting some sort of study on it on my own to verify the existence of Chi.
