AI Thread Summary
Elizabeth Baron from elizabethbaron.com offered a psychic explanation for the recent electricity outage across the Northeast and parts of Canada, claiming that the details of any potential culprit would remain undisclosed to prevent copycat incidents. Critics dismissed her claims as typical of psychics who make vague predictions while ensuring they cannot be held accountable if proven wrong. The discussion highlighted skepticism towards psychics, emphasizing that no one has demonstrated any extraordinary predictive abilities beyond what is considered normal. Additionally, there was a critique of individuals who engage in pseudo-science and religious discussions, suggesting they focus on dismissing such claims rather than engaging with them substantively.

Sad thing is some of these people actually believe they do have some extraordinary ability.
