I can't stop posting pictures of poop, what the fuck is wrong with me? Level: 5 CS Original | I've noticed even more after listening to Fresco's Earlier lectures that he seems to be using forms of cold reading techniques. I will get more into when I have more time today but I am wondering if anybody else would agree with me on this? If you are unfamiliar with what cold reading is look at the information below. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cold_reading "Cold reading is a series of techniques used by mentalists, psychics, fortune-tellers, illusionists, and con artists to determine or express details about another person, often in order to convince them that the reader knows much more about a subject than they actually do.[1] Without prior knowledge of a person, a practiced cold reader can still quickly obtain a great deal of information about the subject by analyzing the person's body language, age, clothing or fashion, hairstyle, gender, sexual orientation, religion, race or ethnicity, level of education, manner of speech, place of origin, etc. Cold readers commonly employ high probability guesses about the subject, quickly picking up on signals from their subjects as to whether their guesses are in the right direction or not, and then emphasizing and reinforcing any chance connections the subjects acknowledge while quickly moving on from missed guesses." James Van Praagh failing miserably at cold reading on The Circle, Channel 10. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t07UzTcApMI James Randi's fiery takedown of psychic fraud look at 3:44 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wWqRFKuryqw | |||||

I can't stop posting pictures of poop, what the fuck is wrong with me? Level: 5 CS Original | His older lectures which are not really in public view use a lot of cold reading techniques. His newer stuff has those techniques as well but he's a bit old and is hard of hearing so his ability to utilizes the cold reading technique is harder. | |||||
