Steve Pavlina is a psychic
I only ran across Steve Pavlina's blog very recently, on an article of how to become an early riser. Immediately, I had a lot of respect for him and liked his blogs. He seems to be strong minded and very successful in his personal development; in contrast to myself, with every intention to be elite, but in many aspects, a not successful person.
Steve recently start to blog about his psychic experience. Surely fascinating read, but naturally provokes my physical view of the nature. I find it fun to blog some comments against his articles.
Surely, "seeing is believing" :). However, it is not necessary to directly "see" something to believe something. That is where science plays. Essentially, science is useing abstract rules -- ultimately, math -- to connect what you see with what you want to or don't want to believe. If there is no proved way to connect from what you see with certain claim, then there is not enough reasons to either believe or disbelieve in the claim. Now on psychic phenomena, please show the logical connection from accepted knowledge to what you claim, other wise, to strongly support it or strongly deny it is equally foolish.
Well, the whole scientific training is about not to accept what you see without establishing necessary connections to what has already been accepted. In common words, we are seeking explanations. It is foolish to use imaginary explanations that based on an imaginary or unprooved link. Of course it is also foolish to deny what we experience without necessary proofs.
I think the whole claim of psychic is foolish, not because I don't believe their experience of what they claim, but because the logic they are supporting. They ask you to believe based on un-verified 'theories'. I am quite at peace with people just claim they can do certain things. They are interesting, and when I had time and resource, I will be facinated to study it, either to prove to deny it or to accept it. But those that trying to persuade others to accept what ever their theories without proof, are foolish. Fools are OK. We often realize ourselves be a fool from time to time. And then, there are some, quite some, that are acting fool but with a very unfoolish reasons. Those are whom we should be aware of.

people deny psychic phenomena because of lack of experience.

people deny psychic because their subconcious doesn't accept it even if they experience it.

"Once you become aware of your sixth sense, accept it as real, and develop some basic competence to the point where you’re able to trust it, the next step is integration."
