CIA program director of Stanford Research Institute:

I cannot wait to see what the future holds when we fully open the doors of our perception! It is time to accept the gift of psychic abilities. The hardware is fine; it’s the software that must be upgraded—and quickly.
As it appears, it would just involve asking the right question.
With ESP and remote viewing, time and distance appear to become non-local while conscious experience remains possible.
While some may be quick to dismiss the possibility of paranormal matters, a multi-million USD Government funded CIA remote viewing program has survived many subsequent administrations and the existence of a professional association for remote viewing that intends to secure proper use of remote viewing, provide a strong indication that ESP and remote viewing should be taken serious.
The following documentary film (2021) provides information about the CIA program.

International Remote Viewing Association | IRVA
IRVA is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to promoting the responsible use and development of remote viewing.

An example book that addresses the subject:
The Reality of ESP
A Physicist’s Proof of Psychic Abilities. This book, detailing its author’s many successful investigations into the paranormal, should make those who deny the possible existence of such phenomena think again”.
Author Russell Targ, of Palo Alto, California, is a physicist, author, and retired senior staff scientist from Lockheed-Martin.

Anyone can do it
It is a logical idea that ESP, remote viewing or anything paranormal require something 'special', but the film Third Eye Spies showed that they recruited regular people from the military without prior experience with anything paranormal to perform professional remote viewing, and that the least experienced persons were sometimes better at the task. 'Anyone can do it', but there are people with talent.
There is even a remote viewing conference where regular people (public) can take part in remote viewing. It is showed in the film and as it appears, students and people without prior paranormal experience were able to perform 'paranormal' remote viewing.

Scientific evidence
Russell Targ of Palo Alto, California, a physicist and retired senior staff scientist from Lockheed-Martin, mentioned the following on https://espresearch.com/
Scientists usually define proof as overwhelming evidence, so strong that it would be logically unreasonable to deny the supported argument. Proof establishes the truth of a conclusion—such as aspirin prevents heart attacks—in which case the evidence was so strong that the National Institutes of Health stopped the experiments to avoid killing off the untreated controls. The evidence for psi is ten times stronger than the evidence that aspirin prevents heart attacks.

With non-local consciousness, both distance and time become non-local which would potentially mean that it would be possible to remote view a planet of an advanced civilization somewhere in the Milky Way or to remote view earth 10,000 years into the future.

The film Third Eye Spies markets itself as 'a true story'.
Just in case that there is a grain of truth in their claims, if it could have led to advancements, for example for Cosmology, it may be considered a waste to not at least have been open for the possibility and allow investigation/exploration. As it appears, anyone can do it and one would merely need to be open for it (i.e. 'explore' it) and ask the right questions.
4 US Government administrations did believe in ESP. When it was cancelled, also the popular series X Files was cancelled. It could have been a decision based on a personal belief (e.g. atheism) or a short term profit motive. When ESP is possible, how plausible is the idea that mind originates from the brain? Big Pharma has a multi trillion USD interest in ESP not being possible, for example.
Further evidence: NDE
Near-death experiences (NDE) also provide evidence that consciousness may not originate in the brain.
The AWARE—AWAreness during REsuscitation study by Sam Parnia, director of the Human Consciousness Project at the University of Southampton may provide evidence that consciousness is independent from the brain.
(2019) Does Consciousness Continue After Brain Flat-line?
How can people brought back from death after cardiac arrest report having experienced lucid and vivid memories and recollections without a functioning brain? The study of near-death experiences is challenging the idea our consciousness originates in the brain.

Further evidence: people with a tiny bit of a brain
There are people with only 5-10% brain tissue who lead a normal life with a wife and two children, work as municipal officials, and sometimes even have a high IQ and can obtain an academic degree.
A quote from a Belgian philosophy professor:
"Any theory of consciousness has to be able to explain why a person like that, who's missing 90 percent of his neurons, still exhibits normal behaviour," Axel Cleeremans, a professor philosophy of cognitive science from the Université Libre de Bruxelles in Belgium"
tiny bit of a brain:
100%: ####################
5%: #
The French man the Belgian professor speaks of had only 10% brain tissue and lived a normal life with wife and two children. The condition was discovered at a routine hospital check at the age of 45. He had lived a full life with the condition, unnoticed.
There are many similar cases. Professor John Lorber has examined more than 600 cases. One is a math student with home it was discovered that he had merely 5% brain tissue.
Remarkable story of maths genius who had almost no brain
"I can't say whether the mathematics student with an IQ of 126 had a brain weighing 50 grams or 150 grams, but it is clear it is nowhere near the normal 1.5kg and much of the brain he does have is in the more primitive deep structures that are relatively spared in hydrochephalus".

Questions:
1. What explains ESP and remote viewing where conscious experiences can exist at a distance?
2. Does ESP imply that consciousness is non-local on a Galactic scale, or is it possible that consciousness is merely semi-non-locally bound to the Solar system?
3. What use might ESP provide for human prosperity (i.e. what could be 'good' use of it)?
