The people that not only believe this type of bullsh*t deserve to be poor and in line for forced euthanasia.

i am predicting that this is Fark.com.

i hope i was right ...

The North Korea prediction by Monte got the leadership of NK right. The pooh-poohing of this prediction because it missed "Jong Il" dies completely misses the point that in order for Jong Un to take control, Jong Il must be out of the picture.

Monte's "levitating platform" was also a hit.

I'm not trying to argue that psychics have some kind of special power that lets them predict the future. Just that the subjective crap the author uses to disprove the prediction is really lousy.

In 2012, an event will happen that will make world wide news.

I believe in science, but this "scientist" must have a really boring life if something like remotely possible connections of prediction and truth don't spark some interest in the imagination.

/Annoys me that people are so stalwart as to not even humor the idea of something else and the fact that they are so callous about it

Psychic Twins, Terry and Linda Jamison...Here's their predictions for 2011:

Prediction: President Barrack Obama will not be re-elected...

I predicted there wouldn't be a presidential election in 2011. What do I win?

Nothing from this clown?



I'm very disappointed, was looking forward to a Fark bash fest of that fraud.

The author was careful to cherry pick predictions that didn't come true.

I always thought a Psychic was one who could read minds, and not see the future.

Surely they should call themselves Augurs?

We did humor the idea and found it laughable. I'm sorry that reality has taken a huge dump all over your fantasies, but that's just the way things are.

Tell you what, Sparky, you find a mechanism for these psychic abilities to work through and we'll take another look. You know, a mechanism that actually has some grounding in biology and physics.

You will find yourself in a heated political argument in the near future.

"Psychic Nikki" should do a porno with the "Psychic Twins".

Your words only approximate English but it seems you are saying that holding out the possibility of psychic ability leads to a richer imagination?

If so, I'd argue the opposite to be true. Lack of critical thinking and skeptical inquiry greatly stifles imaginative thought. When you are willing to believe anything at all, your world becomes a shallow pool of meaning. Anything and everything can be explained by "I don't know" or "just because".

By actively seeking the truth, the universe gains layers of meanings. When a friend of Richard Feynman lamented that his scientists brain could not appreciate the starry night as much as his friend's artist's soul, Feynman said that the opposite was true. Not only could he appreciate the aesthetic beauty of glittering points of light, he also stood awestruck at the distances he was viewing; the time it took the light to reach us, creating a strata of universal history; the wonder of gravitational lensing, where the mass of stars bends space itself causing the light of farther stars to shift around them; and the fierce machinery of the stars themselves, vast nuclear furnaces where the elements that eventually may become life are first created.

All this, and more, can be appreciated just by looking at the night sky. The deeper a person has travelled down the road of education and critical thought, the more there is to appreciate. Conversely, the further a person is down that road, they will have less gullibility towards pseudoscience and the "supernatural".

The ability to discern events before they happen would be fascinating. Should someone truly have that ability, they would have no issues having it properly tested and shared with the world. Until that happens, I'll continue to find my imagination driven by actual reality and save my enjoyment of made-up things for actual fiction.

Is this what you were looking for?

I predict that psychics will be wrong about any prediction involving 12/21/2012.

/Amidoinitrite?

List fails without economists' projections for 2011. May as well group them in the same category, as all they're doing is looking at trends and expecting things to remain on course.

nmrsnr: TheOmni: I predicted that the majority of psychic claims that contained anything resembling a testable or observable statement would fail. Clearly, I'm a pretty awesome psychic.

Wow! That's amazing! Do me, do me! What does my future hold?

You will be sprayed by a skunk,.....twice..... and nothing, including tomato juice will deskunkify you.
As a result of the skunk love the entire world including your dog will shun you for 3 days and 3 nights.

5 cents please.

I predict that none of you will win the lottery in 2012.

Hey guys, what's going on in here?

as if I didn't already know

Needs more:

For every one guy like Edgar Cayce, there's thousands of these charlatans.

J. Frank Parnell: For every one guy like Edgar Cayce, there's thousands of these charlatans.

FTFY.

Should google Edgar Cayce and see everything he's gotten right. But i suppose it's more fun to just assume you can know all about things without doing that, as if drawing such knowledge from the ether.

AverageAmericanGuy: The North Korea prediction by Monte got the leadership of NK right. The pooh-poohing of this prediction because it missed "Jong Il" dies completely misses the point that in order for Jong Un to take control, Jong Il must be out of the picture.

Monte's "levitating platform" was also a hit.

Thats not how i initially thought the prediction ment. I mean, those types of platforms have been around for years. I mean, there are types of trains that run on magnetic tracks that technically levitate. Hover crafts levitate (and if you ever watched that episode of Junkyard Wars, they used a surfboard to make a hovercraft) So the idea has been around for a long time.

The thought would of been that a person stands on the platform and the platform causes just the person to levitate. Not the actual platform itself. (Thats how I saw it)

You should see what Nostradamus has gotten right with his predictions. They show WWI and WWII, 9/11 and even Casey Anthony. But the thing is, they are so general that they can be interpreted any way you want. Thats the thing, psychics tend to "predict" so general that when something happens, they say they were right.

Is not amused.

\don't see Randi enough

Sigh...

James Randi explains: (new window)

"...the rationalizations that Cayce and his supporters used to explain his numerous and notable failures are prime examples of the art of evasion."

"It must be said of Cayce's followers that they are quite unashamed of the myriad half-truths, the evasive and garbled language, and the multiple "outs" that Cayce used in his readings. In some cases these crutches were clearly stated, without any attempt to disguise them."

"Cayce was fond of expressions like "I feel that..." and "perhaps" - qualifying words used to avoid positive declarations. It is a common tool in the psychic trade. Many of the letters he received - in fact, most - contained specific details about the illness for which the readings were required, and there was nothing to stop Cayce from knowing the contents of the letters and presenting that information as if it were a divine revelation."

And my favorite: (new window)

"In common with most of the divinely inspired mystics, Cayce also dabbled in prophecy. In 1934 he declared that Poseidia (which he said was a portion of Atlantis) would be the first part of that fabled continent to rise again from the Atlantic. "Expect it in 1968 or 1969," he told his fans. Poseidia, his imaginary creation, did not rise, nor have any of his other prophecies been fulfilled."

Youre not the only one who thought of BotF2. I was thinking of that too. But thats why I dismissed the concept of a hoverboard for the prediction. Seeing that the concept has been around for a long time.

Also waiting on Mr. Fusion...

Not so fast. There are still 10 day to go in the year. I mean, all those things that haven't happened could still happen, but I'm not going to hold my breath either.

/psychic ability? Humbug!

Well, sure, but they didn't include any of the real psychics. Anyone can find some no-name frauds to make fun of.

I predict that something will happen to me on December 24... causing a sleepless night that night and a ton of fun on December 25.

Am I doing that right?

I just love how documentaries are made every year trying to shoehorn Nostradamus' predictions into modern times.

The first one I saw predicted a nuclear launch on New York in 1997. Years later, they tried to make that fit September 11th.

You should see how they are trying to get one to fit Casey Anthony too. Its really funny.
