However, there isn't proof that fortune telling is scientifically true, let alone proof that isn't balanced out by knowledge of probability or of the other studies that have taken place. Derren Brown, perhaps the greatest psychic illusionist alive, can 'read minds' with fantastic proficiency, and yet he does not believe a word of psychic or pseudo-scientific mysticism; indeed, he's firmly against psychics and fortune-tellers who employ cold reading and other psychic techniques to make money off of other people's naivety and vulnerability. Instead, he knows the psychology of it and uses this knowledge in an entertaining way, but a way in which it is made explicit that his techniques are anything but psychic.
I agree with Shift's proposal. Until it is proven that psychic phenomena can exist, we can only assume that such phenomena are delusional products of our minds.
