As you prefer; although i still don't see what's wrong with what i said. Bad guy?? I just made a point, and you didn't give me a decent response yet based on reasoning, as many others here have done already.

What do you mean by "enough"? To me, when "enough" people believe in something, it only proves how humans, because of their nature, can be manipulated to believe in mass delusions. Or do you think that the Nazis were right about their beliefs because they had "enough" believers (probably more than the combined population of psychics in the world)?

So go ahead give it a try. |
As you said there are good and bad psychics. Even if i let aside of my skeptical beliefs and go talk to a psychic, if he eventually proves to be wrong, then you will call him a bad one. Then i would have to go to another one, and another one, and so on. I'm not willing to spend the time or money to do it, although this is something that interests me very much, and if i were rich and didn't have much to do i would certainly go to a few dozens of psychics to see if any of them really has some supernatural power.
