Was wondering did anyone have the number for a tarot reader in Dublin. Heard Eddie Christian was good! Anyone got his number or any other advice? Thanks:)

check out the episode of penn and teller bull**** on tarot,and hopefully you'll never be conned again.its cold reading in disguise and they absolutely proved it.

No, they proved that someone used cold reading to pretend to be a psychic.

If I came up to you and tried to sell you a nuclear reactor, saying that I was a nuclear scientist, but I was lying, does that mean that there's no such thing as nuclear scientists?

Zillah, Im shocked your coming out on the side of the believers:D Seriously, echo your point. Some tarot readers are full of sh*t but not all.

Yeah but we know for a fact that nuclear reactors exists and are made by nuclear scientists, technicians, engineers and lots of other highly qualified people...and you don't need to be a nuclear scientist to sell a reactor. That's not quite the same as a tarot card reader and the fortunes they have to sell now is it?

How are some rated higher than others? Because you like/agree/believe what you hear? Well if you consider that maybe all tarot card readers do in fact use cold reading and ambigious statements to make their reading then maybe the ones you rate highly just happens to say the right thing when dealing with you. Or maybe he/she is just very good at cold reading.

I did no such thing! I come out on the side of scepticism, which considers all evidence and doesn't leap to conclusions simply because they support preconceived notions.

Absolutely irrelevant for the purposes of the metaphor.
