  Can you disprove all mediums? What if someone has an experience with them that they can’t explain but felt powerful and they made a personal choice to believe that they did talk to a dead relative.

  it is not irrational, to observe (or experience) something and not being able to explain it.

  I agree, and that’s where I would stop, I can’t explain it, I don’t know what this is.

  I think in general it matters what we believe to be true or not, you might think that in a certain situation believing a false thing can result the same (or better) way than not believing but beliefs are not restricted to certain situations and will inform our decisions elsewhere, maybe with more dire consequences. A quick example would be mediums who pray and scam grieving people out of time and money.

  Isn’t it irrational to believe in things that cannot be proven or disproven?
