    Hello. The only reason I’m able to make big weird videos like this is cause of my Patrons, so if you are one, thank you. You are great. And I love you. If you’d like to become one, that’s rad! thank you! You can do so here: www.patreon.com/Supereyepatchwolf But hey, no pressure, just watching the videos still helps the channel a ton, so you’re still great, even if patreon isn’t your thing.

And he showed everyone how much more powerful reason, logic, and science are. He was brilliant using those three tools to completely discredit and emasculate physic powers and woo in general. Magic and psychi powers don't have the slightest chance against The Amazing Randy's logic and science. He was a major loss to the world. We miss him and appreciate all that he taught us, and the incredible example that was the life he lived until the very end.

It is not okay to put words into the mouths of someone's dead loved ones.

    What makes it worse is that the grief this lie created almost certainly played a role in her mother's death. "The ordeal had taken a toll as her health steadily deteriorated in recent months, family and friends said. She was 44. She died of heart failure at a Lakewood rehabilitation center, said her sister, Theresa. She had been hospitalized since December for pancreatitis and other ailments." That hateful creature literally broke her heart for no reason but money.

    As someone who was forced as a child into an interaction with a "faith healer" I can say that it's simply unfair how little choice I had in saying that, yes, of course I was healed. How could I not be? Do I doubt God????? But now years have passed and the injury is still as there as it ever was, to the point where walking ranges from discomfort to sharp pain on a daily basis. I am 19. I will likely never fully restore the damaged tendon that could have received proper care at a hospital back when I was 12. All because a child has no power to say "No, I'm still in pain" under pressure from a "prophet" and a "man of God" and his parents eagerly waiting for the "healing" to work. Fuck these psychics. I am glad I was not as affected as some. But now the simple sight of them makes me angry, from the pain I have to live every single day because I was denied medicine in favor of "God's undying love and grace".....

    Also, these dipshits give religion a bad name. During Covid, a lot of people weren't wearing masks because Allah would protect them. A religious speaker (known as imam) called them out and said that the protection is masks. Protection is medicine. Denying medicine is denying Allah's protection. The Earth has the tools necessary for humans to create medicine. Also, he said not to believe in people who claim supernatural things that cannot be backed up by science as no human alive can ever bend the laws of nature. Whether you hate religion or not, I think it's a beautiful way sensible religious people look at it.

Medicine as we know it was built off of centuries of curiosity, but also the deaths of billions of humans, most of whom died without knowing why. In the past century many of these people were unwilling test subjects. This is not to discount medicine, but to point out that it took a long, brutal history for doctors to be as capable as they are today. If a god exists, it certainly doesn’t care about our welfare.

If I remember correctly, she has even said that she knew who this psychic was and believed she was real, and she got excited when she saw her parents were on TV to ask the psychic about her because the psychic lady can tell her parents where she is. And what did she have to watch? Some phony on TV tell her parents that she was DEAD?! What an abhorrent woman.

    The problem with this thinking is that big pharma has incentive to lie to you too. It's a lot more profitable to sell a short-treatment that keeps you sick than a cure. By thinking this way, you automatically become vulnerable to their manipulation just like the people who fall for these spiritual healers. There is some truth in big pharma as well as alternative medicine, but the only way is to pinpoint what info is true or not is to weigh the pros/cons, studies and amount of anecdotal evidence and come to a conclusion.

Just for the hell of it I said sure go ahead, and what I got was an absolutely textbook example of a cold read. For example I mentioned I was an author so she intuited that I had an unfinished novel on my hands which I had abandoned halfway through. You know, LIKE EVERY AUTHOR ON THE ENTIRE PLANET. She also said the tophats meant I was "due to go up in the world", which could also mean damn near anything. At least my friends got a good laugh out of it when I showed them.

    I was 5 years old when I almost died from appendicitis. A few months later, our neighbors upstairs came and asked my father (who was a religious leader in our church) to come help them pray for their daughter who had been complaining about stomach pain and vomiting. My father went up to their apt and saw the little girl (same age as me, she and I were friends) vomiting bile. She was sweating and shivering. She had a high fever. He recognized what she had as the same symptoms I had, but far worse. He wrapped her in her blanket and told the parents she needed to go to the hospital immediately. They all got in the car and the father of the girl was arguing with my dad the entire time stating he did not believe in medicine or the ER, that God would heal her if they just prayed enough. This little girl had appendicitis and her appendix had actually burst. If I remember correctly, she had sepsis. She recovered eventually, but had my dad not taken her to the ER, she would have died due her parents believing in prayer over medicine. I'm glad my dad had a mix of belief and medicine. He often told ppl in the church that God created medicine and that people needed to have faith in their doctors along with God.

    ​@DIORDOL VON GIOHEIM To counter that, can you assume that knowledge alone is enough to change the future? If psychics were real then, what about stuff like determinism and fate? There are a number of things that are yet to be (or fundamentally cannot be) truly proven or disproven. If one of these things were to be true, what about the others? Once you start assuming that one such thing is true, it opens the doors to others. The more you consider, the more contradictions and flaws come up and the less likely each is to be true. There's no basis by which we can assume that psychics are real but determinism is not and so no way to obtain the desired situation (psychic stopped a woman from dying in a car crash at 35) beyond picking things that support your narrative and leaving behind those that don't. One of the easiest examples of this is religion. I'm not going to say that any are or aren't real, or that people should or shouldn't have religious beliefs, however: There are and have been countless religions. They shift, form and fade continually. Are all of these 'real'? Is a specific one or few true where the rest aren't?

Had to resist the urge to tell him "Yeah, you can totally trust the recall of an 80 year old woman who never made it past middle school to disprove hundreds of years of academic science", because when you do that in real life you inevitably come accross as a cynical asshole.

I understand your hesitancy to tell her the truth, I’m named after my uncle, who was shot and killed when he was 15, and my grandmother told me stories of how he spoke to her after he died, saying that he was okay and with God now. People find comfort in faith, and sometimes it is more harmful for them to expose them to reality than to allow them to live with a fantasy like that. What’s most tragic about these manipulative practices talked about in this video is that people are being convinced to hurt themselves (by giving their money, time, relationships, health, and sometimes their lives) in order to find that relief. I don’t know what the right thing to do is, but I know the feeling. Hopefully one day humanity will learn to cope with and accept the harsh realities of life instead of trying to escape from them.

    About a year ago, I found out my mother gives money to religious healers so they could pray for me and other members of my family. I still haven't told her that I know, because I don't want to admit I went through her messages, but I tried hinting at it. I totally get why you'd be hesitant to tell your mom about this. People will do anything for comfort and stability, and this includes spending ridiculous amounts of money on things that don't work and they don't truly need. I'd say you're lucky that your mom didn't spend any money on it yet

Its insane the mental gymnastics some people are willing to put themselves through just to feel more comfortable in their world. It wouldn't be so bad if they wanted to live that way, but for some godforsaken reason, they *insist* on constantly sharing those erroneous opinions and making other vulnerable people believe it. In its own way, that level of ignorance is just as destructive as the conartists that do their snake oil practices like Geller.

    Bet Randi is feeling real vindicated beyond the grave. "Oh, so now you want my help with exposing frauds. Where was this when I did the same with Uri Geller and all the others?" If I were a betting man, I would say that he is saying this from beyond the grave. But I don't believe in the supernatural without definitive proof. If it does exist, then I accept my lack of knowledge. For a personal analogy that may well happen to me in the future without making a prediction based on my personality, if someone were to walk up to me and proclaim that my mind was cursed and could be cleansed through the power of azure or something like that, I would kindly tell them in the politest and cleanest tone possible to 'f**k right off'. If you think that my Autism is something brought on by the devil, then you can get right the hell out of my personal space. It was something I was born with, I couldn't change it even if I wanted to. There are people I know who are willing to help me with my situation, and you are not one of them. Sorry about all that. I just needed to do some venting.

    It certainly doesn't help that places like the US where there is such an incredible amount of high tech medical equipment and doctors around, and yet only the tiniest fraction of the population can actually afford to access them. That's the most tragic thing of all. The debate i have to have with my friend who suffers fainting spells and chronic pain, every time, she begs me not to take her to the ER because she can't afford it. She has told me she would rather die than withstand the sheer stress of any more debt. And after i had to go to the ER for a persist foot pain problem, I don't blame her. The doctor talked to me for 20 minutes and giving me a sandal and prescribing foot elevation and bed rest, I walk out of that hospital with a bill of TWO THOUSAND THREE HUNDRED DOLLARS. I am not fucking joking. And that is WITH INSURANCE!!! And you better fucking believe unless my heart actually stops, I'm never going back. I don't blame anyone not being able to reconcile such a thing, and turning to whatever homeopathic nonsense to try and cope and feel in control of your situation. Because its almost worse to know there is real effective medical treatments available, but some rich powerful asshole behind a big CEO desk decided you aren't rich enough to deserve it. And your government is knowingly letting it happen and actively profiting off of it. What the fuck do you do then. Because I'd love to know.

Basically a doctor gets concerned when he learns his colleague surgeon consults a psychic before each surgery he performs and claims the only bad surgeries happened when he didn't. So the doctor visits the psychic to ask how she can decide on the potential lives of people to which she responds; "When he comes for consultation, he sits across me as you do now and I can feel his breath upon me. So I can immediately tell whether he has been drinking or not."

    This video has to be one of my faviroute videos in existence, it touches on a subject so important, and so poignant, that it honestly almost brings a tear to my eye. See, I live in India, a country that(as much as I hate to say it) is pretty uneducated, a lot of people are trapped in the jaws of poverty, and there are so many people who carry out scams ike these, and so many poor souls who wholeheartedly believe them, and when you try to raise a voice of awareness, you are shot down by the sheer toxicity of the religion in this damn country. It's something that's always bothered me, and something thats really broken me up on the inside, because even when I try to help, and raise a voice against it, it doesn't matter. If the person in trouble is not willing to accept help, even trying to help them is useless, and that's really how I often feel for the people around me. So this video has so eloquently, and wonderfully summarized my thoughts on the matter, and presented them in a way so sensitive and efficient, that I could honestly never. It just makes me happy, knowing that there are people as fantastic as you, trying to help people with social evils like these. Thank you so much.
