I'm skeptical about them myself. But when one of my family members got a reading about me (which was really accurate), I'm starting to sucker into them?

How about you? Do you believe there are a select few who can read your future, or are they conmans with a crystal ball?

EDIT: Reread the post if you think I said Physics. I meant those people that can see into the future, not the F=MA stuff.

I do believe there is some psychic power going on. I've done some psychic things in my life. But I also know how to cold-read. Most psychics are masters of cold-reading. I do believe that there are true psychics out there, just that the majority of them are frauds.

Not in the least; I'd think that they would do significantly better under controlled experimental conditions otherwise

Not in the "I can read your future!" whoodoo BS, but I'm not entirely closed to the idea of spirit channelers. Of course, I'd rather avoid encounters with such people, should they exist.

Phy-chics?

Why yes I do find some women to be insane.

But in all seriousness I do think that stuff like that exists, there can be the good kind which people get, where they can predict the future, through dreams and are not very controllable, and there is the bad kind which can be controlled and usually you get from somewhere bad, and is used for profits, bad ways, ect.

Most of them out there are fonys trying to make money, but some actually do know the future.

No I do not. Those people are frauds that can read into the little information you give them and are able to extrapolate a reading that sounds very realistic.

Being an INFJ I have an intuition that is much greater than the average person... but the ability to "read" someone's mind? Highly unlikely. Most "psychics" are just using cold reading and human predictability to scam people out of loads of money. However, I do see it possible that there are some individuals out there who have a more extraordinary (non-supernatural) ability, and never use it to the advantage of themselves, and don't see the need in "proving" their existence.

I call shenigans on those people as well. If there are people with such an ability, I guarantee that they're trying to undergo scientific testing in order to help mankind.

The hacks who you see channeling spirits for cash are conmen like the rest.

I believe there are certain individuals who can perform such task better than other. I have heard stories of such individuals in work and it is quite amazing how accurate the things they predicted. However, this type of ability could be a curse to the user as well, the people who do possess such ability usually lead a very humble and unfortunate life...

Of course psychic people are just con men, they just search for the lowest common denominator like fortune tellers though some of the good ones can se body language and suggestion too . However you can read minds to a point using MRI type tech and perhaps in the future we will get proper mind readers.

That's just the media playing it up, no one would care if he had got it wrong so naturally he'd have to be correct for you to know about him.
