Psychic abilities, premonitions, and intuition are simply a product of the interplay among experience, common sense, and accumulated knowledge.
Most people greatly underestimate the amount of information they learn in a lifetime, and the human brain is able to instantly correlate the information in a way that no other species or machine is capable of doing.
The brain, however, learns to discard the vast majority of information it receives, since, for obvious reasons, it's not critical to remember everything. Of course, some people have better memories than others but even the worst of students remember 99.99% of everything they come across in life. Yet, it's that 0.01% that makes us different from one another. For some people, it is the ability to memorize trivia, excel as physicians or interpret financial data, etc.
But for some people, it is the ability to read others, and those people with the innate ability to draw on memories, common sense, and experience, and to codify it quickly and accurately, manifests an ability that strikes others as being supernatural.
So, do you still believe in psychics? or did you ever believe them?

One of the lessons we can learn with Autistics is the incredible power of the brain.
Likely, mylotters have maleable and open minds to things and I think a poll would be a suitable measure to have here.
Of course I believe that psyKicK powers exist ... have we met before ;)

Yes, I do believe in psychics. I get visions of things that would occur in my family. It always doesn't happen. Its just when something bad is on the way I get notified about it in my sleep. Also I practice reading Tarot which seem to have given me future outcomes.
The truth is that we all have a healthy amount of sixth sense which you can say is first instinct. However, we tend to not listen to it and end up following the wrong path.
