If we freed ourselves from the bonds of ignorant superstition, nationalism, political allegiance, junk entertainment, and junk science, we could reach levels of progress unimaginable today.

It sounds like you want to see some topics forbidden in science.
If a Nobel prize winner says something like, "Quantum theory is now being fruitfully combined with theories of information and computation. These developments may lead to an explanation of processes still not understood within conventional science such as telepathy, an area where Britain is at the forefront of research," should he be punished? Sent to re-education camp? Have his Nobel taken away?
If a world-renowned mathematical physicist says, “If one believes, as I do, that ESP exists but is scientifically untestable, one must believe that the scope of science is limited,” should be be harassed?
I mean, how firm would you like to be with such 'kooks'.

If he is disproved but continues to spout on about how he's pretty sure he's right anyway, he should be be locked in an asylum for the rest of his life.
To stand in the way of scientific advancement because of "ethical concerns" is treason against the species.
Political and social systems that disadvantage anyone for any reason should be abolished.

Until a method is devised?! Many methods have been devised! Parapsychology has been researching psi for a century using a variety of methods. Didn't you know that?

I believe that the purpose of biological life is to give rise to sentience

On the one hand, you "believe" these things.
On the other, we have countless examples of well intentioned science creating catastrophic results.
I think the sooner the human race goes extinct, the sooner the planet can move on to better things.
