Have any of you ever had a reading performed by a world renowned psychic? I had a reading a while back and it was pretty accurate. I am curious what your thoughts are regarding psychics? Are they mind readers or do they actually see the future?
"How I Made Sure No Woman Ever Friend-Zoned Me Again"
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.
Psychics????

"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.

They're fake.
Look up "cold reading."

i don't think the future is written
i think some 'psychics' are real good at reading people through 'cold reading'.
i think there might very well be a collective unconscious and that every human has a latent instinct which occasionally manifests as what could be termed 'pshychic' ability.
i think any person selling their psychic abilities should be whipped naked down the street.

And where are the pinko commies demonstrating against Iran kidnapping them British guys, parading them around, and refusing to let the Red Cross see them?
Oh, wait, they're surrounded by an aura of bulls**t, too, just like psychics.

They were (apparently) in Iranian water where they don't belong, as opposed to Iraqi water where they also don't belong.
We know the western governments would never parade around a captive. Or execute him and allow video footage of his last moments turn up all over the net in a few days.
Having said that they should let them go.

The Iranian government released two sets of coordinates for where their own ship was, and in the first they were clearly in Iraqi waters; the second they were about 1800 yards north of the first coordinates, just over the Iranian side. Either way, it wasn't a violation that an on-site commander could easily determine. More likely, it was a planned operation after gathering information on British rules of engagements and tactics.
As for Saddam... the Iraqi government paraded him around and then let the video leak. The US government wasn't involved except for some security.
Anyway, just to boot this thread back on track... I agree with Jay Jay, but I think there isn't enough proof either way to draw a conclusion on whether there is a collective subconscious or not. Although Egon Spengler mentionned it, so it must be true.

I had a reading just for fun once. By some world renowned psychic, or so she claimed. She had in her profile she had appeared on all these shows and whatever but I decided to try it out and nothing came true. Dont believe any of it
Actually, it's a comination of cold reading, something sometimes referred to as warm/hot readings, and several other things. The reading, I believe, is largely based on the venue.Nighthawk said:Watch the John Edwards is the biggest douche in the universe episode of South Park. It's all cold-reading. A trick.

Also 9-11, where were the psychics when we needed them?
If you're at a John Edwards taping, for example, you've probably signed up / called ahead for tickets, written down things for why you're there (to be read or told later, if interesting enough), given your address, etc.
I believe that there are people who may believe that they're psychic when they're just (for whatever reason) natuarally good at reading body language or doing cold readings; there may very well be a lot of pychics who believe that they're genuine; they don't ALL seek to cheat anyone or get paid. But I feel that this is in the minority.
Too bad. I like performing "mind reading" strictly as entertainment...
The only good that I see is that when a "psychic" may tell someone to get themselves checked out by a doctor when people come to them for health issues. There are people out there so convinced that psychics are the answer that they will avoid going to the doctor until their psychic tells them to go.
