Think about how much money people pay "psychics" on tv, people who "talk to ghosts", "fortune tellers", etc.
I remember a show I saw once, it was on the animal planet, there was some woman who supposedly talked to pets, mentally, and the pets told her things that only their owners knew, or some shit like that. Well, if she can get a living doing that, I'm sure someone with actual skills would be able to.
I don't watch TV, so, I can't comment on the psychic people on tv

When I die, it would be like it never actually happened. I like sharing it, spreading it around like so much margarine.
I saw that show you talked about Poj - I think that it's BS in some form, runny or crusty and old, unsure. BS all the same. Dog Whisperer is good and actually useful, but completely unrelated to the topic at hand.
I'm sure just as many would believe in flipping burgers with a psychic spatula as those who wouldn't. Look at Criss Angel or David Blaine - obviously, they're fake, there is no "magic" or "levitation" but so many people still actually believe in them. In this country, you can be famous and never know what real talent is, excluding trickery and smoke/mirror usage. It's always better to be for reals though.
You might want to show off, but, doesn't mean everyone would want to do that,so, you're making a big generalization here. That still doesn't mean that I wouldn't like to do that to silence the skeptic BUT the point is regardless if you can do macro pk or not, there will ALWAYS be skeptic and you'll LIKELY be placed with the whole magician crowd, there is no escaping that regardless how much effort you put in to prove it to others Yes, its better to be for real, but, you seem to be dismissing the idea of macro pk just because no one has proven it 100% even though there are some who have claimed to do it in history. Curious question, have you tried to put in any sort of effort to learn some psi and then move on to macro pk along with meditation to access the theta state since it seems macro pk requires that? If the answer is no, then I suggest you give it a try. You won't lose anything except 15-30min/daily, so, consider trying it instead of let's say watch some 30min show on TV
If I get any good results, I'll bump this thread and post my results here
