California Psychics, is this a real organization?

[atikovi]

I see their TV ads pretty often now,

Did some psychics get together to form an organization? This seems about as legit as an American Association of Bank Robbers. Do people actually buy into this stuff?

Nope

These types of scammers will always be out there looking for their next mark. They prey on people going through tough times that have their guard down. These sites always have a disclaimer to tell you it's for entertainment only. As long as they tell you it's BS in the small print, they seem to have their bases covered.

What's interesting is intelligent folks sometimes believe in such things. Maybe it's a non sequitur. For example, I lost my lucky coffee mug (this set off a Seinfeldian sketch between my buddies and me--logic being how could one lose a coffee cup, as it's at home, in the car, or in the office. I joked I left it at the massage parlor--half my buddies thought I was serious, half knew I was joking. One told his wife who told mine lol [my wife knows better and that it was a joke]). It seemed like my life got better once I found it--things were going well thanks to my lucky coffee cup being back in my routine. My swagger was back, ladies at work seemed to be responding as they were. And likely a psychic could have helped me to locate the cup sooner.

“Man will believe anything as long as it’s not in the Bible”. That phrase is widely credited to Napoleon but I don’t if he actually said it.

Dionne Warwick recorded just enough music to make her name common. After that, she put her name on a physic TV infomercial and made millions. Of course the lemmings will pay for it.

I know plenty of otherwise intelligent people that believe some pretty nonsensical things. If we want something to be true badly enough we tend to overlook all of the signs that it is not. These folks are capitalizing on human nature.

There are two close to me. One in a very expensive city, I think caters to the new Chinese arrivals. The other one operates in a converted FotoMat booth in an Autozone parking lot.

Two psychics meet on the street. The first one says "You are fine. How am I?"

One more post about religion and the thread gets locked.

I saw an ad in The Wall Street Journal the other day about pet psychics. This one had a months long waiting list.

The work done by Puthoff and Targ, at the SRI is quite compelling.

Interesting... Weren't the Stanford remote viewing experiments declared pseudoscience by their peers? I don't know much about this, just kinda remember it being in the local news.

Yes, the military paid for it for decades, then declared it bunk in the media and walked away, as "it didn't work"...to me, it was that something worked better.

I read some very very long text books wrietten by the two (we used to have a great library), and there's some convincing stuff.

If interested, look up the movie "Third Eye Spies"

I am a genuine believer, through decades of research....not in fair ground psychics...

If "psychic ability" really exists, there are much better opportunities to make money with it than advertising on TV for people to call you.
