[center] "When confidential information leaks out
of an organization, people suspect a spy, not a psychic."
--John Allen Paulos, Innumeracy[/center]
It has also been argued that if psychic power existed, to use it would be "a gross and unethical violation of privacy" and "professions that involve deception would be worthless". There wouldn't be any need for undercover work or spies. Every child molester would be identified immediately. No double agent could ever get away with it. Psychics would be in demand for high paying jobs in banks, businesses and government. "Most psychics would be very, very rich...." and since psychics are such altruistic persons, giving up their time to help others talk to the deceased or figure out what to do with their lives, they would be winning lotteries right and left and giving part of their winnings to help the needy. We wouldn't need trials of accused persons: psychics could tell us who is guilty and who is not. The polygraph would be a thing of the past. Of course, the operative word here is if. If psychic power existed the world would be very different.

@BlueSkyKing As a psychic medium myself, what you are saying about winning the lottery, is nothing to do with being psychic, that has a lot to do with fortune telling. Fortune telling, in my opinion is impossible for that exact reason. Where you state "if psychic power existed, the world would be very different" maybe I would say "If we understood how psychic is a part of everyone of us, we would understand what it actually is and the world would be very different"
