Am I a Psychic?

[Mighty Lighty]

No. There's no such thing as psychics and that happens to me all the time.

Fuck, it even happened today.

I was thinking of that Scrubs episode when JD gets the man cards and someone posted the very clip in a thread here.

Quiet! non-believer or I shall curse your ass!

I have seen and experienced a number of things that can not be explained through science and traditional "rational thinking".

Just a guess here, but these things you're experiencing likely can be explained by science...more likely, you either aren't aware of the explanations or you don't want to agree with them since they require "rational thinking." That is, of course, your right. I also experience something that can't be explained by science on a daily basis. It's a mysterious force we call "gravity."

I used to experience this when I participated but have since stopped participating. Maybe my belief was true, maybe it wasn't and was a mix of youthful arrogance, wanting to believe, and mob mentality. Maybe true, maybe not, I dunno. I just wanted to post a warning in case of the possibility that I was right.

no, you are not psychic. Maybe you were influenced by an advert or something you read. Youll deny doing it but thats because it goes into your subcobsiouc untill your (using freudian terms) or superego passed it into the conscious of your ego which the nrepresented it into real life. Im not saying im a psychological genius, i just know alot about it and im studying it.

Basically, no youre not psychic. You were influenced AT MOST. If you are psychic then try reading someones mind who you dont know, have never see and never will meet. Thats the near onyl way to support and either way theres nearly no way to prove that your psychic.

Tim Minchin pretty much covers my thoughts on this.
Take it away.

I usually have strong senses of deja-vu, but only once did I predict something(the death of one of my best friends' mom in a dream, the night she passed way; she will be missed)

 

[sketch_zeppelin]

more than likely you saw the preview for the episode a week ago and forgot about and then your subconsious reminded you.

 

[Serioli]

You are psychic!

Contact that scientist who is offering a million (or whatever) for proof of psychic abilities and cash in.

(May I have a 10% 'finders fee' if you go through with my suggestion? Thx!)

 

[LaughingAtlas]

I've had that happen, do you get the portentious dreams too? (you may see any given moment, wake up, forget about it, then it happens days, weeks, months, or years later) Makes me want to tunnel into my own skull and say "HEY. Cut that shit out!"

 

[Galad]

That depends, can you tell where I misplaced my documents? =P

Ok bear with me here and read the entire post before yelling at me. Today at school I was just standing still then all of a sudden I pictured Marge Simpson entering the independent movie theater to see "Candy Land", and then later today that same episode came on.

This isn't the first time this has happened either. I can remember random scenes from animated shows entering my mind and then later the same episode I was thinking of for no reason, comes on. Does this happen to anyone else? Its kinda freaky. And for some reason it only works for animated shows and nothing beyond that. And I can't predict the show if I start trying to predict it, the scenes enter my head for no particular reason when I'm not thinking about it. This has happened to me way to many times to be a coincidence.

This kinda thing happens to everyone all of the time. During the course of a single day, the human brain (both consciously and sub-consciously) processes something like a million images and thoughts. It's got less to do with coincidence and actually much more to do with mathematical probability.

i do something like that. occasionally i will have a part of an episode stuck in my head, and then within a few days the episode in question appears on TV. i also believe i have another strange talent. yesterday, the words " boom boom boom boom, i want you in my room kept going through my head, and when i typed it into google, it turned out that they were the lyrics of a song by a Dutch Dance band called The Vengaboys, who i have never heard of before. it made me laugh.

No. There's no such thing as psychics

You're amazing!
How can you know that? You must have looked into the future to a time where science has actually disproved psychics. But then... wouldn't that make you a psychic? Maybe you're a time traveler.

Either that or you're arrogant enough to claim as fact something that is actually opinion or belief.

Haha... oh the irony in pretending to be so edgy and logically open-minded. Ye be ignoring that important thing called common sense.

Oh the irony in citing common sense as a supporting argument against being logically open-minded.
Common sense to me would suggest being open minded unless a claim was disproven or in some way ludicrous or illogical. So until science can say how psychics can tell us previously unknown details of crimes you don't get to make unsupported claims.

Yes there are a lot of kooks out there, claiming or pretending to be psychic for money or to make themselves feel special. There are also instances of paranormal activity that science can't explain... yet.
If you want to lump all psychics in the first category go ahead, but that's called ignorance. I'd be very careful suggesting someone's a pretender or trying to be "edgy" when the best argument you can come up with is an unjustified "its common sense".

 

[Downfall89]

no

This.

 

[Sarahcidal]

that happens to me all the time.. we're not psychic, we just watch too much tv.

 

[Jaranja]

I have a weird theory about it. I believe in fate, everything is set in stone. I believe that everyone gets small premonitions but disregard them. Like Deja Vu.

But that's pointless, if everything is set in stone, you cant change it. If you do change it, you can say that change was set in stone.

I have my views, you can have yours. You can debate personal beliefs 'til the sun collapses but you won't get anywhere with it.

Your an idiot.

Now, I agree with the evidence given but I think your first a third points are contradicting each other. Seriously, reported.

 

[the Dept of Science]

I think this is a simple point that often gets overlooked but, if psychic phenomena held up to any sort of testing, then pretty much everyone would believe in it.

 

[UnwishedGunz]

dude you rnot psychic that happens to me all the time its nothing specil your just lucky
