Analysis Of My Reading On Channel 7's The One

[DIZINNO1]

What a load of bullshit week minded people who who believe this, if these people can do what they say why do we have so many unsolved murders in Australia

To those who comment that this fellow is 'narrow-minded': actually, people who scientifically parse information the way he has possess wide associative horizons, are not highly suggestible, and are more closely connected to truth than those who immediately accept what's told to them.

I'm a professional clairvoyant in the states. I have a personal psychic consulting firm here and I do well. I don't see any offense in this video. He has a right to his opinion. We all have rights to our opinion, as long as he understands no one knows EVERYTHING but a psychic should be more accurate if they want to get on a television show.

[skepticallythinking]

You believe in psychics because you have had good experiences with them. I have so wanted to believe but my journey was the opposite to yours. The more I explored and the more I experienced the more I had doubts. We have both had journeys but in different directions. I will be the first to believe when a medium or psychic can prove to me their abilities. Like you I am very concerned about the vulnerable which is one reason why I have this channel.

[skepticallythinking]

I was using them to find out about my life but all of them claimed to be able to contact the spirit world. What they did get right was very generalised. Yes there were a couple of things that they were very good at but with all the misses they could have easily been lucky guesses in terms of probability. One thing I have learnt on my journey is that we tend to remember the hots and forget the misses. That was often my mistake before I became a sceptic.

[skepticallythinking]

The vulnerable need protecting. When I see the evidence I will believe. I can't say fairer than that. Of course, you naturally have taped of your readings. Remember the best thing for a sceptic is to be proved wrong but the worst thing for a believer is to be proved wrong. I look forward to being proved wrong. Enjoy your journey and believe in yourself not superstition. As people we are beautiful.

[skepticallythinking]

Like many people you are reconsidering your beliefs. Clearly my channel is significant enough for your to comment so I thank you for devoting time to it. It is a very difficult but understandable experience to have your beliefs shaken but I suspect that you are already reconsidering your own. Free your mind. I have had several readings from well known mediums and psychics so clearly you are not psychic yourself suspecting my beliefs are based on one.

[skepticallythinking]

Totally fair. As an open minded person I gave her a chance to analyse me and it was full of generalisations. Did I see other pyschics who were accurate that night? No. Some lucky guesses and cold reading but plenty of misses.

[sgerbic]

Good job with analyzing your reading. We only know what we see on the tape, and from that we do know that her comments that you are a healer and looking for meaning in your life is as general as you can get. Why did she not do the obvious and say you were a man? She should have been able to give your name and some specific facts about you, children, where raised you know something resembling facts. She was just cold-reading all the way though.

[skepticallythinking]

Regrettably, if the ability is a genuine one, with so many misses and assumptions, it is an unreliable one. If a plumber or mechanic or my dentist made so many misses despite having a basic knowledge of the job would I want to employ them? Would I want to rely on them with so many misses and assumptions? Yes I am a sceptic but I only became one after a lot of reflection and careful thought. I would love to believe but the reading sadly, and I mean this, made me more sceptical. I wish it hadn't.

[skepticallythinking]

In fact it was me who said it did not work for me. Many of the readings on the show are littered with such words as "perhaps", "possibly", "I am not certain", "maybe", "if" etc. This helps cover the performer. If it is a miss they say well I was not sure so it is not a real miss. Should it be a hit they claim it as a complete hit. Sadly I do not accept that these performers were dazzled by the camera. They are seasoned performera and are in their element with the audience and lights and cameras.

[skepticallythinking]

Fast cars, flat tyres, liking drink? I do not and have never driven and have been a life long teetotaller. If someone gave you that reading what would you make of it? As I said it sadly made me more sceptical. All we ask is for evidence and on that occasion it was not provided I think you will agree. Thanks again but most of all good on you for taking part and commenting. I respect and appreciate that.William

Hi William

She` here, Hmmm. What you have said is not very accurate either - often when people are in front of a camera they get a bit dazzled like a possum in the headlights of an oncoming car.However if you recall I said that I saw a bat which was open for interpretation and could mean a liking for Barardi that is very different from what you have said here and I said I saw car tyres which may mean you had a flat or liked fast cars But I did identify you as a skeptic so at least one big tick

[skepticallythinking]

Oh yes if you would like to point out exactly where I slandered her then please do. You might like to read up on your slander laws. Cheers.

[skepticallythinking]

They had around 1 to 2 mins to read. As I said in my analysis you only saw an edited proportion. What was not shown was even more wrong and yes as the detail at the side states clearly I am analysing this reading alone. The whole show has been very carefully edited. For the record yes I did challenge her in the audience but of course that was not shown. You had a reading from Amanda, Just a brief point Amanda and She' are two different people. Thanks for your comments.

[jmoury]

Did I call you names? What's your effing problem "mate"? If you believe this crap is true I own a bridge in Brooklyn, NY you might be interested in purchasing. It's told that Jebus himself blessed it. Putz. You should spend some time in the northern hemisphere. I think all the blood is rushing to your head.

[thettguy]

I also note that a few contestants were offered a chance to tell us who owned the objects while most just got the owner to stand up. But this could have just been the editing. Were all the contestants offered the chance to pick who owned the object?

[thettguy]

I note from the show that the contestants had a time limit on this task. Skepticallythinking - do you know what this timelimit was?

[Razela]

Thank you! I wish more people would come out with exposes of this sort.

[RealGrouchy]

Thank you, sir! You have healed me of my belief in psychics!

[jmoury]

Nice commentary. If you notice at 2:43 in your video the camera cuts to you while she is giving you your reading. She probably noticed the camera pointing toward you and picked up on that cue.
