It's the same trick psychic mediums use to fool people. Say a bunch of general things, let the mark pick some to fill in his own details. He'll think you predicted it. It's classic stuff and one of the giveaways that Q is BS.
"However, some of it is clear, well-documented, and compelling."
Some of what? Has Q made a non-cryptic, specific, unlikely, prediction that proved out? Great. What was it?
"Be skeptical, but be curious."
Certainly. But you might want to look into that skeptical thing.
Some of the evidence compiled by regular people. I was spent some of my career doing interrogations. I’m trained in elicitation techniques. I know exactly how a mentalist does what they do.
You haven’t done your homework. That’s fine, but it also means you’re speaking from a position of relative ignorance. Like an atheist, who claims God doesn’t exist.
God may or may not exist, which is to say most people are agnostic - don’t know one way or the other.
You are claiming that Q is a sham. Fine, present the evidence.
And that’s the irony. Q’s not saying anything. Q seems to suggest. People research. You review it. Some of it is pretty good, and some is tenuous.
For me, I don’t know what to think of it, except I’m impressed by the evidence compiled as a result of these Nostradomic drops. For 1/3 of it, there is more than smoke there. For a 1/3 of it, it’s tenuous. The other 1/3 I don’t get.
So if your position is Q is illegitimate, then make your case and we’ll all come to our own conclusions about it.
