I've always thought that if telepathy was even remotely possible, it would just be communication via pheromones or through the use of technology to transmit brainwaves over the air.

through the use of technology to transmit brainwaves over the air.

Explain to me how it's not REALLY telepathy just because you used a gizmo to make up for your own psychic shortcomings? Prosthetics are a thing.
