The Psychic Scam | The Real Hustle

[@zaynekalis3466]

Of course they're fake psychics. A psychic isn't, by definition, "someone who scams people by claiming to have supernatural abilities", it's someone who _does_ have supernatural abilities. If someone claimed to be a god, that doesn't make them a god. You could argue there's no such thing, however, that doesn't mean they're actual gods, because you wouldn't change the definition of "god" to mean "someone who pretends to be a divine being". So essentially, because they're claiming to be something they're not (in this case, psychic), yes, they're fakes.

It is very hard to convince someone that they are being scammed. My sister in law is a big believer in this, and she was convinced because the "psychic" she went to see "knew" things about her that she supposedly could not have known. I tried to explain to her about cold readings and so on, but the just wouldn't believe me. People believe things that aren't real because it makes them feel good, simple as that.

[@zissumanter]

People are addicted to their "feel good " Drugs. As long as this addiction exists there will be Psychics. Truth is that Life is so hard and painful. People still do not know how to solve life's riddles. Religions do exists for this purpose as well. There will always be religions , Psychics , Clairvoyants. It has always been the case for many ages. But they do not ease the Pain and Grief. I think religions , clairvoyants, Psychics is one way to ease pain. What I means to say it is Pain and Grief people do not know what to do with. Is there a way out of this. I say yes. Till people find the way they have to be content with their "grief reducing drugs." . One idea is that perhaps taking drugs to ease grief and pain is not the Answer.

"A Creator of time, space and matter would not, logically, be subject to the limitations of its creation" And? I'd agree if you preceeded this statement with "IF we assume beyond all evidence that there is such a thing as a deity...", but nothing you've said even suggests such a thing exists...hell, the modern scientific understanding of the universe suggests that the "beginning" as we think of it isn't even a "beginning" but an occurence on a process that's been going on for far, far longer.

I'm skeptical about psychics, I've been to a group that had a psychic and she told me things about my grandma that she couldn't possibly know. Nowadays these people can use the internet to get information about people, however when my grandma was alive, FaceBook didn't exist and she was a very private person. Maybe it was a guess, if so, it was a damn good guess. If you tell someone something private and then 10 minutes later they show you a drawing or doodle then yeah, it's most likely a scam. If they really are psychic, they'll know that I'm not going to pay. They should know this before even meeting me.

Er...you do know that a theology degree and the broader philosophy Ph.D are intrinsically different things right? "Believing in a Creator is BASED on existing evidence" Like? simply saying "it's causality, it's proof...and stuff" isn't offering anything, particularly since literally all the evidence we have suggests no need, whatsoever, for "god" to cause anything for the universe to exist. Can we now get to the schooling part? What aspect of causality suggests a deity is necessary?

[@wideawakerealist2141]

Interesting video, I’ve only looked ( and laughed) at the tarot card market of cold readings. Have had a few arguments with firm believers who simply don’t get that all those readings are deliberately kept vague, “ reading” common situations resonating with anyone, like heartbreak, bad luck etc. …and always the ‘ new positive energy “ “ you’ll receive messages “ and the all time favourite “ you are, or about to manifest into the empress” Some even have a bit of a life coach angle to it . My impression is, they’re mentally fragile people who need some crutch to make sense of their lives and strangely they’re also very religious usually, and mostly female . No reader will ever say “ life is crap, will be for the foreseeable future, the ‘ divine” blocked you, , suck it up, kid” …she/ he would lose subscribers.

[@valmarsiglia]

Every person who insists that their psychic reading was legit makes the same basic argument: "I can't think of a way they could' be deceiving me, therefore there's no way they could be deceiving me." It's really narcissistic when you think about it because it boils down to "If I can't think of it, it couldn't possibly exist."

"thus being eternal (timeless), super-natural and transcendant." That's possibly the widest logical leap I've ever seen anyone claiming the use of logic make...no, logic does not in any way even imply, let alone logically suggest such a thing...I'm wondering if you have actually ever taken a logic course... "abstract objects (such as numbers) " When specifically did numbers become abstract? Mathematics is quite literally the antithesis of abstract...it is, by definition, ordered and clear.

[@Isteinier]

In an argument, 'illogical' does not mean counterintuitive. Logic is abstract thinking backed up with arguments. Since the beginning of this argument, you've not once mentioned why it is illogical for something that causes causality itself to be limited by its own creation, even when though you've been asked to back that up multiple times. Is that logic?

More than ever I think, being New Age and religious simultaneously appeals to many people who cannot cope with reality and the possibility their particular awful situation is not part of some divine plan …and of course, they’ll expect the universe to change that for the better…which every tarot card reader ( I haven’t looked into paid for personal reading bs yet) is feeding them as just around the corner to “ manifest “ with “ spirit guides “ looking after them. Many readers have a little sideline flogging some “ special “ candles etc before they even start the readings.

Psychics are like Christians. There are real ones, but most just want stuff from you, and the fakes are the loud ones. Unless you're a VERY powerful psychic, you're not going to be able to do it on command this strongly. And if they are that powerful, they have better things to do than this. As well as being a medium or a diviner being separate skills from being a psychic. Being one of these three separately that powerful is unlikely, being all three AND going after chump change is impossible. Most people with psychic abilities are neither willing or able to pull off these acts. While I shock people by responding to what they were thinking or knowing things I have no way of knowing, I can't do it on command. I lack the skills to make it look like I can. I have as much control over it as I do planes flying over my head. If I see one, I can point it out. But if you say "prove that a plane can fly over your head by making it happen right now!" I will fail unless I get extremely lucky.

[@ZarathustrasCrown]

No, you preceeded it with deductive guesswork and left huge gaps in it in doing even that...I don't doubt the universe had a "cause", my issue is in the complete guess that was a deity of some sort.

So, here's the closest Webster's definition of "abstract" to your example "1. having no reference to material objects or specific examples; not concrete The closest definition in there that is even vaguely close would be 1, but since numbers are definitively "specific examples" (and in science examples of real world phenomena) there's literally no definition that fits...to work "numbers" in would literally require you to make up your own definition of "abstract"
