Proof Prophets Don't Exist

Of the thousands of people who rake in the dollars because of their psychic ability, not one is on the public record before the fact in predicting this.

Is it you think all psychics suck and are fake because you didn't find one so far that predicted this bridge collapse ?

No. I think all self-proclaimed psychics suck because they haven't predicted ***anything*** with any specificity that can help anyone else.

After 9/11, all kinds of psychics claimed they predicted the event. Fine. Where were they before the event? What so-called psychics do usually is either one of two things. First they predit with such little specificity that their predictions will as a matter of unfolding national events come true. Hey, I can play that silly game. I will right now predict that a plane with crash in the Western United States in the next month; I see the letter "K" and the number "4", and I sense anguish in Dallas. Time will tell whether Dallas is a person or a city or if the plane is a Boeing 737 or a Piper Cub. Secondly, they predict the same thing with such regularity that the prediction will come true in the same way that the clock must strike 12 at least once a day.

So, yes, I don't need this bridge collapse to prove to me that psychics are frauds that play of people's credulity. Their own track record has established that beyond a shadow of a doubt.

As for the bridge.....

Hmmmm....It's a toughy.....But I have felt the same thing with the weird experiences that have happened to me.....It's never anything that can help anyone or be used for anything....Just random "silly" information of things in my own life that is about to(or has) happened.....
My opinion is this....Before we come here we "write" our own contracts......Somehow,,,somewhere we all die....Whether it be on a bridge or in a hospital bed that,,,I believe,,,is our time.....Maybe psychics can't always predict these disasters because it is something that is SUPPOSED to happen.....It would be like having access to others charts.....And even if they did,,,,they wouldnt be able to stop it,,,because again,,,this was their time....
I hate to sound cold and heartless(I'm not trying to),,,,but it's the only way I can explain these catastrophic and horrible events that continue to occur in this life(usually to good people)....I guess in a way I feel they are "balancing" their.....karma, energy, soul journey.....What ever you want to call it...
..
Maybe psychics are better at predictions that can be altered by the one they are predicting for.....Not really sure.....
.
Just a guess and as always,,,my opinion only....

I agree with you in part.

I certainly allow that there is much in life that cannot be explained and may be beyond what science can ever tell us. I also happen to think that there is something to be said for karma-- that one's past behavior or wiring leads to predestined events. You see this on the highways everyday where choleric people had car accidents more so than others who take it easy.

Other than that, I would have to disagree that there is anything predestined about the bridge falling, for example. In a parallel universe, if there were better contractors and better inspectors and money available for timely maintenance, it would not have fallen. The laws of nature are implacable. So, all things been equal, gravity, rust, the vibration of a 100,000 cars will take its toll and bad things in the absence of human intervention will happen.

The basic difference philosophically between you and me is that you think the future is "real"-- that we are riding on a ribbon of time to encounter a future that was witten in the stars a thousand years before the ocean's rolled. My view is that we live in the subjunctive-- if I do this, that not this will happen-- and that there is no future-- there is only now. The future is created in real time as we make choices, and since those choices I make multiplied by four billion are infinitely variable, the futures we can encounter are also infinitely variable.

None of this is provable, of course, but I think my theory makes more sense and also forces me to assume that I can take responsibility for myself much more so than by presupposing fatalism.
