Hi John, I only asked that people not forget those who seek to empower their clients because it seemed like the assumption is that all psychics are out to enslave their clients by making them dependent on their advice. So I just wanted to clear that up.
As for other industries, you're going to find people who take advantage of their clients and people who don't. Whether it's a psychologist who prolongs a person's recovery so they can make a few extra bucks, a doctor who orders tests a patient doesn't need in order to earn more money, a lawyer who over bills his clients, or a mechanic who tells a woman she needs new brakes when she doesn't because he knows he can scare her into buying new ones through her ignorance. I don't think we need regulation. We need to raise our future generations not to swindle people, and we need to educate people today to beware of these things, and we need to empower people to take full responsibility for their choices.
But we definitely don't want to go around saying, "All psychologists are swindlers" or "All mechanics are crooks" or what not. That would not be aligned with truth. And then if we start drawing conclusions based on incorrect assumptions we lose.
