Haha, I'm saying that all the time. If there were psychics, there would be no casinos, sportsbooks, dog/horsetracks, stock markets, no poker (played with real money), etc.
And, Maybe..JUST MAYBE..someone would have claimed James Randi's one million dollar prize for demonstrating some type of supernatural abilities. But no, they're on reality T.V., looking up information about the person on the internet while doing a phone reading, or just cold reading and telling the client that the future looks to be promising for them at their barely surviving psychic shop, about to go out of business.
Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that 'my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.' -Isaac Asimov-
