On the one hand, if people are fully willing and consenting to spend their money to pay for an entertainment experience akin to folks paying to go into a “Haunted Mansion” during Halloween for the spooky ambiance, then go for it. I think those types of “psychic” are, in their own way, kind of neat. They figured out a way to make money as an entertainer, an artist, and that’s great.
I don’t like the types that seem to prey on peoples’ desperation and misery, and there is/was a lot of that type. Those folks aren’t talking to your dead relatives nor are they going to reliably and accurately tell you where your murdered daughter’s body was hidden by the killer. They aren’t going to cure your “demon possession” because that shit isn’t real. They’re not going to make nice with the local ghosts living in your attic because those are a figment of your mental illness. But once the psychic dives into those types of scenarios, they’re just pure pieces of shit and deserve all the ridicule one can muster.
Well, those religious nutjobs deserve to be exploited. If you are, as an adult with a somehow sane mind, actually believing in such absurd fairytales, then you’re just asking to be plucked from the tree of profit.
So it’s either a fun-ride with the psychics, or a psychic making a living from someone that’s too brick-faced to notice. Fine by me.
I like it.

You’re free, welcome and encouraged to have your own opinion, of course. And I value these greatly.
