Psychics Adam Southworth: How could we eliminate other ways the putative psychic might know those things, lori? I suppose I have seen enough magicians and mentalists to be sceptical. There are a lot of techniques to obtain information from an audience. (Edited by Adam Southworth) Adam Southworth: Perhaps they do, lori. That could have been psychic. I don't rule it out. However, I suspect a decent and principled person would be aghast at how at least some of these charlatans operate. Some of them read people's personal histories, or talk to the family or neighbours of the audience, or give questionnaires before the show, among other ways. I sometimes find it hard to believe how wicked some people can be, so I have to be presented with these kind of theories or evidence to believe it, lori. I expect you know more than me about this and will show me something that will floor me now *smiles* Is there something a determined charlatan couldn't know about someone?

GeraldtheGnome: No, but I’m not claiming that there are no psychics, I just don’t like the cruel fake ones that claim to know where the missing are and those that claim to channel the dead. Why didn’t you use a capital and a full stop ? (Edited by GeraldtheGnome) | Off Topic Chat Room Similar Conversations |
