It makes cool movie effects when a guy with electronic equipment yells: "A spike in psionic activity!" and then things start flying around. And it seems scientific-esque.
@skywize Haha, do you honestly believe I would waste my time believing and defending psychics, mediums, and all that spoon-bending BS? I don't give a shit about them and I'm just a scientific skeptic who critiques parapsychological studies including the methodology and statistics. And no, there are parapsychological studies that deserve further consideration, regardless of my knowledge and flaws in experimentation..
@IceAges14Aces How about the fact that no psychic phenomena has EVER been tested without fail? How about the fact that every psychic I've seen uses the same generic scripts, all pointing to cold reading? Mind you, I am not downplaying cold reading. It's a skill. Being psychic, however, is not. There are no psychics.
Why not? Is it because Sylvia Browne, Uri Geller, John Edward, Allison Dubious, etc. had been debunked as frauds (which they are) and hence, generalized that all psychics, ESP, PK are a bunch of bullshit or is it because nobody has won James Randi's One Million Dollar Challenge? If these conditional statements apply to you, then you're a pseudoskeptic who masquerades prejudices and faith-based disbeliefs as skepticism.
