Funny, funny. I like this video. It's just how I prove that people that call themselves basketball players are liars because they miss some of their shots!
@UnknownBoss Yes they do.. One just predicted the end of the world causing a woman to take a box cutter to the throats of her two children.. That was a Christian Pastor.. Pagan Priests Predict the future all the time. The rest of them are just snake oil sales men, selling salvation to the most gullible among us.. Oh Brothers and sister! DROP YOUR MONEY IN THE COLLECTION PLACE! YOU SHALL BE REWARDED IN THE NEXT LIFE! mmhmm.. Killem all.
@atwas911 They're man, so you can't ask for all of priests not to be crazy, cause like there are crazy men, there are crazy priests. But many of them are also honourable people who work every day for a better world.
@UnknownBoss All Priests are crazy.. They talk to imaginary creatures.. They want nothing more than to spread their mental illness to others by convincing the average fool that these creatures exist. They are all con-men. EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM! OF ALL RELIGIONS.
@atwas911 then you're crazy too, cause you don't believe in the creator of Mankind and you want to convince the average fool that evolution is not to believe Him and to insult those who do..
@UnknownBoss Of course we'll insult those who believe in him. Plain and simple, the ONLY logical reason for believing in God is not being educated enough to realize that HE DOESN'T FUCKING EXIST. After 2 thousand years with absolutely no proof, It's safe to assume the big guy isn't there. However, there IS a very proven theory of evolution as well as multiple scientific theories explaining exactly how and why we came into being. Religion does nothing but cause war and hatred.
FOR EXAMPLE: The Holocaust, 9/11, The Crusades, the IRA, the Spanish Conquistadors, the overwhelming number of priests who rape little kids, The reason the average American hates brown people. Now try to think of something GOOD that religion has done in the past 2 centuries. This world would be infinitely more functional if stupid fucks like you didn't believe that a magical fairy being in the sky controls every aspect of our lives.
@soccerorbust119 How so? Please give me an example of any way in which religion is viable? Don't try to argue that it teaches morals and gives people a sense of belonging, because I can name countless other organizations that accomplish that without causing 95% of the conflicts in the world.
This is pretty funny, though technically the guy didn't claim to be able to predict all future events, so the fact that he didn't forsee the slap isn't proof that he isn't clairvoyant. And if he did see the slap coming, that wouldn't suggest that he was clairvoyant.
The probability that a correct prediction is due to clairvoyance depends on the predictability of the event predicted from available evidence, compared to the probability that a lot of what we know about physics is wrong.
The french and their funny little experiments. But of course he new it was coming it was fate and so he had to except it without flinching a brave man indeed to enter the studio knowing that would be his fate, the brave little fatalist person.
Just to avoid confusion here: The video isn't from a real news program. It's from a French comedy show called "Bienvenue au Groland" ("Welcome to Groland") which parodied French news shows similar to what Monty Python did in the UK a few decades earlier.

Psychic ability has been proven without a doubt and is used by both Russia and the US AND Police Depts. and more...it doesn't mean they know everything about the future; it means they have varying ways to tune in and perceive - some audibly, some visually, some just a strong feeling. Shame on that arrogant ignorant idiot and shame on those idiots who rush to judge.

Clairvoyance can't be measure, tested, or quantified. It magically appears only in private conversations, scripted TV shows, and message board comments, only to magically vanish when confronted by people with the means to disprove it.
Any real phenomena shows some degree of regularity. Even abstract scientific theories have some tether to reality and quantifiable data. Clairvoyance is just "I thought it would rain today.....AND IT DID!!! IM SPECIAL".
@LAVATORR So because we don't have a means to measure and test, it should be thrown out even though triggers are unknown? I'm all for skepticism (trust me, I love the expose on that fat cow Sylvia Browne) but I won't throw out something because it's used and faked by assholes, or attempted to be rationalized by debunkers when it is a real case.

In any case, I find it regrettable to wallow about this.
@agnelkurian The reasoning by the fake skeptic is flawed. Is there clairvoyance? In my experience, yes. It doesn't mean you're omniscient, just as much as the local meteorologist doesn't quite know through scientific method what the weather is gonna be like 5 seconds from now.
@DarkMuu666 But the weather man can make educational guesses about what it will be like, based on intuition. Clairvoyance is guessing and making a note of the few times you're right... ANYONE can have a 50/50 ratio when guessing which side up a coin will land, you must be accurate in your predictions to within a reasonable margin of doubt and without ambiguous wording leaving statements open to interpretation. It's like Nostradamus... he was so damn vague he could have meant many things.
@MakeEveryMomentCount Clairvoyance isn't about guessing. It just happens, at least in my experience. My first experience with it just happened out of the blue, and if I knew how to make it work like clockwork I'd be a happy girl. I don't know why it happens, or how to induce it. But it does happen. There's more to this universe than some believe there to be, of that I'm certain.
@DarkMuu666 No such thing as clairvoyance. All "psychics" are charlatans. Not a single one truly believes they are "psychic". They claim to believe, they want to believe. But if they truly believed, when they get a vision or some other intuition, they would be willing to bet their very lives on it.
But not a single one ever does... They always end up qualifying their statements with "sometimes", "often" or "maybe".
@MakeEveryMomentCount The weather man does not base his forecasts on intuition, but rather on facts. The idea that forecasting the weather is unreliable is a myth; forecasts for 48hrs in the future are extremely reliable in fact, so much so that many of the worlds airlines and freight companies would go bankrupt if they weren't.
But you are right about the psychics relying on confirmation bias.
@DarkMuu666 BS, there's no such thing as clairvoyance. And stop comparing weather forecasting to the "pull stuff out of your ass" guessing that so-called psychics do. As I mention in another comment, weather forecasting is so precise that freight companies, airlines and insurance companies bet their entire companies on it. No one in their right minds would do that with psychics.
@jjgdenisrobert It's not BS simply because we don't understand the why's and hows. I'm not vouching for people that claim they're psychic, I'm saying that people DO have these experiences, and I have had at least one experience that fits in the category of clairvoyance. The question is how to make it work regularly, and what sets it off. So far, I haven't a clue.
@DarkMuu666 The unsubstantiated is indistinguishable from the imaginary, and the human brain has an incredibly elaborate and powerful capacity to trick itself. That's why any labeling of experiences as "fitting the category of clairvoyance" are flatly incorrect, because without data to support the possibility of clairvoyance it is more appropriate to ascribe the experience to incorrect memory, confirmation bias, and asserted patterns.
@grays42 asserted patterns can work for some, if some things have a regular chance of happening. confirmation bias is fine, IF you're working with someone who says they're a psychic and they don't keep an honest journal of experiences. As for incorrect memory, some people have that as well. I'm not talking about those 3 things. I'm talking about when it truly happens, and those three categories can be ruled out.
I'll tell you if it interests you. My mom had gone out to pick up my sister from school, and it had been a while since she had gone. The school is close so it was a bit odd it'd take longer than 20 minutes. I went to the fridge for some breakfast and thought "I wonder where mom is." I had this image in my head, just for a second of her car crashing into a ditch. I shrugged, if it happens it happens, and munched on whatever. 15 minutes later, my mom called to tell me she ran the car into a ditch.
@DarkMuu666 - Like I said - coincidence. People only remember the hits and apply meaning retroactively.
I'd wake from a dream and would've thought of a person I haven't thought of in years. That day, for the first time in years I'll receive a phone-call from them or see them somewhere. I used to think it was some weird prescience thing. It's not.
The number of things that pass through people's heads per day is enormous. It would be far stranger if coincidences like these DIDN'T happen.
@DarkMuu666 - If you'd like a better understanding of how skewed most of our perceptions are when it comes to things such as these you should have a look at Qualiasoup's videos. Start here with "It *could* just be coincidence":
watch?v=98OTsYfTt-c
He makes some of the best videos you'll see on youtube. I recommend them highly.
@Skindoggiedog That doesn't explain that at all. How would that be coincidence? What would be the % of that being coincidence? Remember, it's a vision of something that either just happened, or was happening, and I was staring into a fridge no less :P It wasn't a guess. It simply was there, and I highly doubt I won the "coincidence lottery" so to speak. My own guess was she was getting some medicine or groceries while she was out :P
@DarkMuu666 - I understand your skepticism, but what you experienced - this 'vision' - is something that happens to mostly everyone, every day. It's daydreaming. The only reason it seemed significant in this instance is with hindsight.
The fact that you were looking into the fridge solidifies the case here; you weren't particularly focused, just browsing, and your brain started musing about other things. That's how it works. Brains do this ALL THE TIME.
@DarkMuu666 - This daydream was only remembered and was only attributed extra meaning when it happened to match up to real events. You could have a thousand daydreams this week and not remember a single one of them.
The reason you remembered THAT one is because your brain matched the two events. Once it took on this larger-than-life form you may have even started embellishing it without really realizing you were doing so.
It's a coincidence certainty. Everyone has events like these in their lives. The reason you've been 'extra' convinced it's more than it is, is because of the severity of the incident involved, and even that happens to a lot of people because of the amount of daydreaming (and actual dreaming) everyone does.
Human beings only have a finite pool of experience with which to conceptualize with. These things matching with real-world events sometimes is INEVITABLE.
@DarkMuu666 If Skindoggiedog's answers aren't enough, just ponder a while on déjà vus and psychological illnesses such as schizophrenia. Most of the times that "coincidence lottery" doesn't take place, but neither do those so called visions; they are created retroactively.
@adesva I actually have been pondering his, as I shouldn't dismiss it totally out of hand. I would like to do math on it though. The retroactive argument sounds very unconvincing, I have a very good long term memory.
@DarkMuu666 "I have a very good long term memory."
Do you remember every dream you ever had? Do you remember any of them?
People can dream hundreds of dreams per night, yet five minutes after waking don't remember them. Does this have even the slightest thing to do with how 'good' your 'long term memory' is?
Of course it doesn't. We're talking about subconscious events that are constantly transpiring and only occasionally breaching the surface of our conscious in (normally) unobtrusive ways.
@Skindoggiedog Those are dreams, and no one remembers them all. I do remember some, especially ones when I was a kid, those are the most vivid in my memory. But what does that have to do with it?
@DarkMuu666 - "But what does that have to do with it?"
The fact that your brain is constantly processing things that you, occasionally, temporarily become aware of, yet do not actually retain in your consciously-accessible memory. Like the little thoughts that pop up while your mind is drifting, while, say, browsing the contents of a refrigerator.
These things happen a heck of a lot more often than people normally realize, and they don't realize it because they don't normally remember it.
@DarkMuu666 Now, with everything I've said, I want to make one thing clear - when I asked you what caused the accident, it was because I believe that your subconscious mind may have pieced together a number of things that your conscious mind wasn't aware of. i.e. Noticing the car sounded different last time you were in it, that your mother was tired/had sore eyes, the fact that you've seen her take a corner before in a potentially dangerous way etc.
@Skindoggiedog Car was brand new, about 1 month old. Mom wouldn't have been tired, she slept all night. Never noticed dangerous curves from her. But it is an interesting thought. I >could< have thought there was a chance for precipitation build up in my subconscious, to throw that out there ;p
@DarkMuu666 And, as it turned out, there had been an accident down that 'left road' that day.
Well, the person originally had ZERO intention of seeing Freddie that day - they were going elsewhere. Eventually the story reaches a point where they're saying "For some reason something in my mind told me not to turn left that day so I just kept on straight and decided ah well, might as well go *do x* while I'm out this way" when, in reality, *x* was their whole reason for being there at all.
@Skindoggiedog I've had that before, but I've felt it coincidental. Namely because if I'm driving I'll have an urge to do something else. Memory editing...I've heard of that too. I just try to keep as honest as I can, tricking myself gets me no where : /
@DarkMuu666 - But the way you answered really didn't sound like that was a possibility.
So, while I don't like to think I'm taking the mystery out of the world for you, and don't want to sound like I'm telling you you're silly for thinking that way - there could be more to it, I certainly don't know everything! - I just think that most people aren't all that aware of a lot of the funny things that go on with our minds.
I find it fascinating, and thought I'd share a little of what I've learned
@Skindoggiedog I'm glad that you did, I like others opinions to help me judge a situation. Sometimes it anchors you down, and you find out for certain what truly is going on. Other times, not so much, but it gives another possible answer.
TBH, the most miraculous thing just happened, from a YT perspective- We didn't end up in a flame war xD
@Skindoggiedog Should it have? People seem to have this thought that you need to be rolling like a Pentecostal for it to be genuine.
My mom caused her accident. She claimed she took a turn and slid on some leftover ice(Most of it had disappeared entirely the night previous). She wasn't injured from it, except for a bruise by her eye. Poor car was totaled though :P
@DarkMuu666 Something else you need to be aware of - and this is not something that's easy for people to admit to (partly because most people don't even know that they do it) - people editing their own memories.
A lot of the time it's the same principle as the blind spot in our vision - we don't KNOW what is/was there, but our mind has a way of filling in the blanks when they're present - usually in the most consistent, rational, or advantageous way.
@DarkMuu666 And you'll probably know someone who BLANTANTLY does this (for most of us it's a lot more subtle)
You will be somewhere, experience an event with somebody, and hear them tell it incorrectly to someone else. Normally it evolves in successive tellings:
"It sort of just crossed my mind - should I turn left or keep going?"
"Freddie lives down that left road"
"I was going to go see Freddie, but .."
"I was on my way to see Freddie but for some reason I decided to go straight this day"
@Skindoggiedog Rather simplistic and unrealistic if it's genuine. No, if it's a true case of it "coincidence" is a desperation attempt to keep things tidy in your reality, even though such a "coincidence" would be hard pressed to actually work.
Eh, dude? If you're going to apply Climate v. Weather analogy to clairvoyance, you might not want to use "in my experience" as your evidence, and opt for the appropriately statistical methods that also say that psychics are full of it.
@Fordi Sorry, I was making a wise crack at the BBQ summer in the UK, it was early and my humor wasn't working as it should ;)
That's all the evidence I have, I went through every possible way it could NOT have been what it was. If I simply said "coincidence" it'd make everyone feel better, and simplify that part of my opinion of the universe, but sadly that isn't always the case. Wish I had the answers, then I would be making money :P

Dude, regardless of right or wrong, that prick had no right to slap the man. He should not be allowed to go unpunished. I'm surprised that the Western world with all it's claims to freedom of speech and expression allows something like this to happen. For all we know, the man was only trying to feed his family and that is no sin.

No one in their right minds would do that with psychics.

@jjgdenisrobert It's not BS simply because we don't understand the why's and hows. I'm not vouching for people that claim they're psychic, I'm saying that people DO have these experiences, and I have had at least one experience that fits in the category of clairvoyance. The question is how to make it work regularly, and what sets it off. So far, I haven't a clue.
DarkMuu666 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 The unsubstantiated is indistinguishable from the imaginary, and the human brain has an incredibly elaborate and powerful capacity to trick itself. That's why any labeling of experiences as "fitting the category of clairvoyance" are flatly incorrect, because without data to support the possibility of clairvoyance it is more appropriate to ascribe the experience to incorrect memory, confirmation bias, and asserted patterns.
grays42 1 year ago
@grays42 asserted patterns can work for some, if some things have a regular chance of happening. confirmation bias is fine, IF you're working with someone who says they're a psychic and they don't keep an honest journal of experiences. As for incorrect memory, some people have that as well. I'm not talking about those 3 things. I'm talking about when it truly happens, and those three categories can be ruled out.

I'll tell you if it interests you. My mom had gone out to pick up my sister from school, and it had been a while since she had gone. The school is close so it was a bit odd it'd take longer than 20 minutes. I went to the fridge for some breakfast and thought "I wonder where mom is." I had this image in my head, just for a second of her car crashing into a ditch. I shrugged, if it happens it happens, and munched on whatever. 15 minutes later, my mom called to tell me she ran the car into a ditch.

@DarkMuu666 - Like I said - coincidence. People only remember the hits and apply meaning retroactively.
I'd wake from a dream and would've thought of a person I haven't thought of in years. That day, for the first time in years I'll receive a phone-call from them or see them somewhere. I used to think it was some weird prescience thing. It's not.
The number of things that pass through people's heads per day is enormous. It would be far stranger if coincidences like these DIDN'T happen.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 - If you'd like a better understanding of how skewed most of our perceptions are when it comes to things such as these you should have a look at Qualiasoup's videos. Start here with "It *could* just be coincidence":

He makes some of the best videos you'll see on youtube. I recommend them highly.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@Skindoggiedog That doesn't explain that at all. How would that be coincidence? What would be the % of that being coincidence? Remember, it's a vision of something that either just happened, or was happening, and I was staring into a fridge no less :P It wasn't a guess. It simply was there, and I highly doubt I won the "coincidence lottery" so to speak. My own guess was she was getting some medicine or groceries while she was out :P
DarkMuu666 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 - I understand your skepticism, but what you experienced - this 'vision' - is something that happens to mostly everyone, every day. It's daydreaming. The only reason it seemed significant in this instance is with hindsight.
The fact that you were looking into the fridge solidifies the case here; you weren't particularly focused, just browsing, and your brain started musing about other things. That's how it works. Brains do this ALL THE TIME.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 - This daydream was only remembered and was only attributed extra meaning when it happened to match up to real events. You could have a thousand daydreams this week and not remember a single one of them.
The reason you remembered THAT one is because your brain matched the two events. Once it took on this larger-than-life form you may have even started embellishing it without really realizing you were doing so.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 "coincidence lottery"
It's a coincidence certainty. Everyone has events like these in their lives. The reason you've been 'extra' convinced it's more than it is, is because of the severity of the incident involved, and even that happens to a lot of people because of the amount of daydreaming (and actual dreaming) everyone does.
Human beings only have a finite pool of experience with which to conceptualize with. These things matching with real-world events sometimes is INEVITABLE.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 If Skindoggiedog's answers aren't enough, just ponder a while on déjà vus and psychological illnesses such as schizophrenia. Most of the times that "coincidence lottery" doesn't take place, but neither do those so called visions; they are created retroactively.
adesva 1 year ago
@adesva I actually have been pondering his, as I shouldn't dismiss it totally out of hand. I would like to do math on it though. The retroactive argument sounds very unconvincing, I have a very good long term memory.
DarkMuu666 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 "I have a very good long term memory."
Do you remember every dream you ever had? Do you remember any of them?
People can dream hundreds of dreams per night, yet five minutes after waking don't remember them. Does this have even the slightest thing to do with how 'good' your 'long term memory' is?
Of course it doesn't. We're talking about subconscious events that are constantly transpiring and only occasionally breaching the surface of our conscious in (normally) unobtrusive ways.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@Skindoggiedog Those are dreams, and no one remembers them all. I do remember some, especially ones when I was a kid, those are the most vivid in my memory. But what does that have to do with it?
DarkMuu666 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 - "But what does that have to do with it?"
The fact that your brain is constantly processing things that you, occasionally, temporarily become aware of, yet do not actually retain in your consciously-accessible memory. Like the little thoughts that pop up while your mind is drifting, while, say, browsing the contents of a refrigerator.
These things happen a heck of a lot more often than people normally realize, and they don't realize it because they don't normally remember it.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 Now, with everything I've said, I want to make one thing clear - when I asked you what caused the accident, it was because I believe that your subconscious mind may have pieced together a number of things that your conscious mind wasn't aware of. i.e. Noticing the car sounded different last time you were in it, that your mother was tired/had sore eyes, the fact that you've seen her take a corner before in a potentially dangerous way etc.
Your brain does know things that *you* don't.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@Skindoggiedog Car was brand new, about 1 month old. Mom wouldn't have been tired, she slept all night. Never noticed dangerous curves from her. But it is an interesting thought. I >could< have thought there was a chance for precipitation build up in my subconscious, to throw that out there ;p
DarkMuu666 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 And, as it turned out, there had been an accident down that 'left road' that day.
Well, the person originally had ZERO intention of seeing Freddie that day - they were going elsewhere. Eventually the story reaches a point where they're saying "For some reason something in my mind told me not to turn left that day so I just kept on straight and decided ah well, might as well go *do x* while I'm out this way" when, in reality, *x* was their whole reason for being there at all.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@Skindoggiedog I've had that before, but I've felt it coincidental. Namely because if I'm driving I'll have an urge to do something else. Memory editing...I've heard of that too. I just try to keep as honest as I can, tricking myself gets me no where : /
DarkMuu666 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 - But the way you answered really didn't sound like that was a possibility.
So, while I don't like to think I'm taking the mystery out of the world for you, and don't want to sound like I'm telling you you're silly for thinking that way - there could be more to it, I certainly don't know everything! - I just think that most people aren't all that aware of a lot of the funny things that go on with our minds.
I find it fascinating, and thought I'd share a little of what I've learned

This is not someone reporting that they had some cataclysmic vision that left them on the floor, spasming and drooling. It didn't even bother you.
What caused the crash?
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@Skindoggiedog Should it have? People seem to have this thought that you need to be rolling like a Pentecostal for it to be genuine.
My mom caused her accident. She claimed she took a turn and slid on some leftover ice(Most of it had disappeared entirely the night previous). She wasn't injured from it, except for a bruise by her eye. Poor car was totaled though :P
DarkMuu666 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 Something else you need to be aware of - and this is not something that's easy for people to admit to (partly because most people don't even know that they do it) - people editing their own memories.
A lot of the time it's the same principle as the blind spot in our vision - we don't KNOW what is/was there, but our mind has a way of filling in the blanks when they're present - usually in the most consistent, rational, or advantageous way.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@DarkMuu666 And you'll probably know someone who BLANTANTLY does this (for most of us it's a lot more subtle)
You will be somewhere, experience an event with somebody, and hear them tell it incorrectly to someone else. Normally it evolves in successive tellings:
"It sort of just crossed my mind - should I turn left or keep going?"
"Freddie lives down that left road"
"I was going to go see Freddie, but .."
"I was on my way to see Freddie but for some reason I decided to go straight this day"

Coincidence.
Skindoggiedog 1 year ago
@Skindoggiedog Rather simplistic and unrealistic if it's genuine. No, if it's a true case of it "coincidence" is a desperation attempt to keep things tidy in your reality, even though such a "coincidence" would be hard pressed to actually work.

Eh, dude? If you're going to apply Climate v. Weather analogy to clairvoyance, you might not want to use "in my experience" as your evidence, and opt for the appropriately statistical methods that also say that psychics are full of it.

@Fordi Sorry, I was making a wise crack at the BBQ summer in the UK, it was early and my humor wasn't working as it should ;)
That's all the evidence I have, I went through every possible way it could NOT have been what it was. If I simply said "coincidence" it'd make everyone feel better, and simplify that part of my opinion of the universe, but sadly that isn't always the case. Wish I had the answers, then I would be making money :P

Dude, regardless of right or wrong, that prick had no right to slap the man. He should not be allowed to go unpunished. I'm surprised that the Western world with all it's claims to freedom of speech and expression allows something like this to happen. For all we know, the man was only trying to feed his family and that is no sin.
