Belief in Psychics: What’s the Harm?

Summary edit

Description
English: Rob Palmer, Software Systems Engineer, Guerrilla Skepticism on Wikipedia team member, Skeptical Inquirer online columnist

Abstract: In this presentation, I will be highlighting the not so well-known, wide-spread problem of criminal psychic-fraud. I will provide examples of documented cases where victims were scammed out of their life savings, up to millions of dollars, by neighborhood psychics. I’ll also explain that – to attempt to curtail this human tragedy – the skeptic community must continue to expose psychics for the frauds that they are, and thereby shame the TV industry which promotes and enables them.
