If there were anything to the occult drivel one reads in the "popular press", then the rational mind would expect:

At least 90% of lottery winners would be professional psychics.

UFOs would be making more take-offs and landings than the scheduled airlines.

The mediums who were in contact with Beethoven and Bach would be producing music as good as the masters did during their lifetimes.

People with good ESP or PK would clean out Las Vegas and Atlantic City casinos. In fact, no casino in the World could continue to operate.

Successful psychic experiments would be widely and consistently reproduced.

None of these are ever observed. I wonder why.

The obvious answer is that the entire occult circus is a delusion. It is also the correct answer.
