The latest entry has brought here the comments of an anonymous (which is then presented as Joyce), an advocate of psychic Chimbarongo, which I would respond. Green, Joyce's comments.
. I am Chilean, and I have known cases that this lady has helped to clarify. So you know the Chilean police worked with her. Emblematic cases soldiers Antuco case matute generally missing persons have been resolved with the help of this lady. . First, this argument, rather than speak well of the mental, what it does is make it quite badly on the Chilean police.
. She DOES NOT CHARGE. . In this, it seems right. No charge for the alleged services to find missing persons. But as noted by Radagast
in another comment, other charges 20,000 pesos for each query performed. Do you consult on what? Is it a medical doctor? Is a psychologist? No, performed Iridology consultations and parapsychology, two other scams. So, as Rad says, every occurrence in the media gives this lady free publicity, thanks to which you can continue scamming unsuspecting reading them the irises, a practice as contrasted with results like the existence of mouse Pérez.
. Moreover, although it is true that no charges to find missing persons, each euro (or weight, in this case) to be spent Chilean police walk it around the country looking for the dead is a euro (or weight) thrown into the dustbin. Money that does not fall from heaven, and will come out of the pocket, among others, our Chilean anonymous commenter.
. The last I heard is that if Maddie did not account for his sketches, in any case she recognizes that there is a possibility of error by 5 percent. . This argument is fine. Means that if heads, she wins and if tails, we lose the other. I also think there are unicorns with green head and body blue. But I think in 95 percent, eh, so if I have no reason to end, to me that no one pointing the finger.
. finally, I'm writing this because I think before you rant must be informed and if you do not believe you should respect people. . Dear anonymous, people who take advantage of others' pain, loss of loved ones of other people, to gain publicity and deceive people desperate and uneducated Iridology sessions deserve respect just me. Respect must earn it.
. After Radagast response, the anonymous, presented as Joyce, said that a psychologist, follows:
. With clairvoyance is different can not be checked, because one is not in the mind of the person when he perceives the phenomenon, is intangible. What we can see is what you raised last time, the findings that this lady has participated through her gift. Search
internet, I recommend you talk to knowledgeable, not only of the costs based on your charges, but results. I give you a clue simplificarte cases for the task: Case Yurazec, Santiago Errazuriz, Sigilberto Rojas, Heinz Heitmann, Matute, Antuco soldiers, among many other cases where it has helped.
. By the way, how many failed predictions? We should check that, and I bet you have missed more than five percent of the time. And yet, of the cases alleged to have successful, how many have been enlarged after the event?
. For example, in the case of soldiers Antuco, the psychic was several weeks in the snow without finding any trace. Finally, when five bodies appeared missing, his excuse was "they were where I thought at first, but I confused the comments of other soldiers." Sure, sure. And despite that, the decorated and everything.
Here is the article dedicated to him, which is this passage. Only this story and will have provided more publicity than an advertisement in prime-time. But hey, if no charge is that they are good people. I guess snow would not only be without pay, but pay it in your pocket for two weeks he spent there.
. As you can see, the topic of troops Antuco is not clear that matching precision commentator Joyce wants us to see, how many of the alleged successes of the past will Chimbarongo psychic same and There is more legend than truth?
. What makes this type of police psychic (and psychological Chimbarongo also as can be read on the news that she appear on the Internet) is to describe landscapes and narrow areas. To define what areas is relatively easy for these people, because, as Joyce itself acknowledges, is in contact with a naive police that provides inside information, relying on their supposed powers and the help you can provide. As for the description of landscapes and their successes in psychology (as I suppose you know very well, Joyce, if you're really a psychologist) is called subjective validation "phenomenon that occurs when a person perceives as related two events are independent because motivated to find that relationship, or have a belief or expectation that these events are connected. This means that, when going to the place that supposedly described, subjects tend to look at the elements that fit and give them importance and to ignore those who do not. (...) Any landscape can be matched with any description, and this depends more on the subject's confidence that the real similarity between the two elements (...) This effect has to do with the fact that 'when one wants see something, I end up watching '. " (The quote is from Carlos Javier Alvarez, a doctor of psychology and professor at the University of La Laguna in his book Parapsychology, thymus go! ") That is, if I know what is the radio that the police are looking for (as you know these psychics) and am able to draw a picture ambiguous enough, I have many chances to hit. And if you still can not rightly say that nothing happens, man, I can miss 5 percent of the time and I'm so calm.
. And of course that these supposed powers can be checked. In the world there are thousands of missing persons. Give him a photo and no other police data that point to exactly the place you are. It's easy. And that goes to the James Randi Foundation and carried one million dollars. Why not go? Because, obviously, could not it without the help of the data that give the police and media and without the 'help' from the gullible who swallow their maps and drawings without the most elementary critical scrutiny.
. I hope you used my comment to open the mind to a world that science unfortunately has not been able to explain precisely, but as in all kinds of things, there are people who selflessly help and are not fakes. . If the problem is to open the mind, Joyce, the problem is that both open, we were just dropping the brain.
