future predictions


Question Posted Friday August 29 2008, 8:26 pm

where can i find accurate future predictions that are personalized online (i don't mind the automatic ones...like a programme)... i don't want the psychics and wot not because they are very inaccurate and they follow the leads you give them... i once went to a fortune teller and i made her contradict herself a thousand times, making a complete fool out of her.... but there was this once where i went to this palm reader and she scared the crap out of me... she told me how many siblings i had and the names of my mother and a father and other personal stuff that no one on the face of this planet knows about..... anyone knows?

I'm curious, if you know that psychics are inaccurate and work off of clues and generalizations or ‘cold reading’ techniques, what exactly are you looking for? A computer program that can tell your future?

Has it occurred to you that palm readers, like psychics, have a plethora of techniques at their disposal, from lucky guesses to going through your coat pockets and purse... Believe whatever you want too, but if you are going to be skeptical, be an equal opportunist skeptic. Palm reading, and tarot card reading is what is called a ‘physic prop’. By focusing on something tangible and a pretend expertise with the object a physic can be far more convincing then if they were simply there spewing facts and talking in an airy voice.

I have to tell you straight up, the idea that a palm reader saw your parent’s names on you palm is just ludicrous. No traditional school of palm reading claims to achieve that kind of precision. If that was real, that was a ‘physic power’, not achieved through the practice of palmistry.

Here is a great article to read. It’s called Psychic for a Day: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
Certainly, you can say that just because many physics and tarot readers and palmistry experts have been thoroughly debunked and exposed as frauds, doesn’t mean that they are all are. It doesn’t. It just means that they probably all are.

Even if they are not, do you really think a computer program or a tarot reader who has never even laid eyes on you is going to be able to tell you future? Does fate seem like something you can purchase online?

And you will pay for it. OH, will you pay for it. A quick google search will show you millions of people who say they CAN predict your future based on your e-mails and your credit card number.

Don’t be duped. See divination for what it is: entertainment, and about as real as The Hills and WWE wrestling.
