I just sent the following message to the Extropian list, as there has
been
 some discussion of psi on this list too I thought I'd sent it here
also.

Happy New Year all.

I predict that a paper reporting positive psi results will NOT appear
in
 Nature or Science in the next year. This may seem an outrageous
 prediction, after all psi is hardly a rare phenomena, millions of
 people with no training have managed to observe it, or claim they
have.
 And I am sure the good people at Nature and Science would want to
 say something about this very important and obvious part of our
natural
 world if they could, but I predict they will be unable to find
anything
 interesting to say about it.
 You might think my prediction is crazy, like saying a waitress with
an
 eight's grade education in Duluth Minnesota can regularly observe the
 Higgs boson with no difficulty but the highly trained Physicists at
CERN
 in Switzerland cannot. Nevertheless I am confident my prediction is
true
 because my ghostly spirit guide Mohammad Duntoldme spoke to me
 about it in a dream.
 PS: I am also confident I can make this very same prediction one year
from
 today.

I agree, but people are easily fooled:

"Over the last week, a passage from a book by self-proclaimed psychic Sylvia Browne has gone viral on social media because of its supposed prediction of the coronavirus.

"In around 2020, a severe pneumonia-like illness will spread throughout the globe, attacking the lungs and the bronchial tubes and resisting all known treatments," reads the first part of the passage, posted to Twitter by celebrities including Kim Kardashian.

Now, it seems many people are giving credence to the existence of "psychics," or at least one psychic — Browne — whose 2008 book, "End of Days," has shot up toward the top of the best-sellers in the "Christian books and Bibles" category on Amazon, likely because of recent attention.

Browne, who died in 2013, wasn't infallible when it came to predictions — in fact, very far from it.

In a 2004 episode of The Montel Williams Show, where she appeared as a regular contributor to answer questions from audience members (who were often dealing with emotional trauma), she told the mother of Amanda Berry that her daughter had died; Berry was kidnapped by Ariel Castro and later found alive. Browne remained quiet in the aftermath, though Williams eventually apologized.

Among predictions in dozens of her other books and on her website, she also predicted that a cure for the common cold would exist and aliens would have revealed themselves by now, in addition to providing false information on several missing individuals.

Browne was not a psychic; she was a cold-reader, which means she guessed a lot. She'd use a person's physical appearance to make guesses. Instead of providing psychic insight, however, she often made mistakes.

Her passage, which reads that a possible "pneumonia-like" disease would vanish quickly is also quite flawed, if this was, in fact, intended to describe the coronavirus.

The point of this? If you make enough guesses, even those who are so often wrong might eventually get something a little right — but not because they're psychic."
