    Do you believe a person can be psychic?

    Do you believe a person can be psychic? No! Not even a little

    Why or why not?

    Because it’s a trick. It’s possible to predict the future based on a series of likely scenarios and probabilities, but that is in no way known. It could be a wild guess or an educated guess but that’s as close as humans get.

    Yes, I believe a person can be psychic, but only a very small number of people in the world have authentic psychic powers. I have heard stories of people predicting (or guessing, depending on your beliefs) character traits and behaviors of people without having had met them before or known about them. It could just be a lucky guess, but they can also be frightening accurate and specific enough that chance alone cannot explain their detail.

    Anyone who says yes has obvious problems grasping reality. But i'm sure there are some out there as there are people who believe sky daddies and flat earths.
    Now is it real? No. Not unless they can prove it. So far none have.

    If you answered yes you simply have not thought it through. IF there were psychics they would have a gigantic advantage in life and all the worlds most successful people would be psychic.

    If there were psychics there would be a lot less unsolved crimes. I know that if I ever had powers i would help the police.

    No, because in all of human history you'd expect at least one verified case. Not to mention the fact we now live in a globally connected world and we still have no verifiable cases makes it really stretch credulity. The USA and USSR also did research into it during the cold war and as fast as I know came out inconclusive.

    Lolol nice.

    Belief isn't required.

    A person cannot be psychic - that's a matter of fact, not opinion.

    People can be OBSERVANT ... but that's a different thing.

    Challenge Mode : Play WoW like my disability has me play:
    You will need two people, Brian MUST use the mouse for movement/looking and John MUST use the keyboard for casting, attacking, healing etc.
    Briand and John share the same goal, same intentions - but they can't talk to each other, however they can react to each other's in game activities.
    Now see how far Brian and John get in WoW.

    I’m gonna say hopefully it’s not possible but multiple governments have had programs to study people who claim to have psychic abilities,
    So I wouldn't be surprised if there was truly something being kept hidden

    Would you say a person who has heard voices all their lives is wrong? For them it's completely normal, for you it's not, who is right?

    People make 6 to 7 figures to predict the future. We call those people analyst, some might call them psychics. If clairvoyants were real then the former would be out of the job or clairvoyants need better resumes.

    The vast majority are frauds but there's like a handful across the world that are legit.

    A person who hears voices that aren't there is sick and needs treatment. If you know such a person you would do well to send them to the psychiatrist. They need help.

    Honestly, it's like seeing a person with tuberculosis coughing and saying it's perfectly normal. It's not. They are sick. Don't normalize the situation. In ignorance people can be extremely cruel.
    By not getting treated you are condemning them to a life of mental suffering that may be avoided.
