Well I know this woman personally and I don't think she would base her career around a con.
Also it's not turban wearing crystal ball psychic abilities that we are talking about. She wasn't forecasting my future and telling me I'm going to have a wife and 3 kids.
This was different then your storybook psychic.
Someone I knew and worked with just two semesters ago is now selling a $50 kit to allow you to "run your car off of water." You'd be surprised what people can rationalize themselves into doing.
He had actually come to me for help on this, and had already printed off many packets of information on "free energy." One of them even talked about how "scientists have discovered that dark energy surrounds us everywhere in the Universe." It then said that we could somehow harvest this energy to do who knows what. Nevermind the fact that "dark energy" is not truly energy in the sense that we are familiar with. "Dark" means that it's something which we don't quite know what it is. "Energy" means that it's not at all matter, but something more tenuous in form, just as normal energy could be viewed as a more tenuous form of matter.
Similarly, "dark matter" refers to something "dark" - unknown - that isn't at all like normal matter, but which probably isn't energy.
My thinking is that dark matter and dark energy will turn out to be little more than some sort of error in the equations we use to describe the Universe, and not some mysterious "substances" which are somehow everywhere without directly interacting with normal matter on a regular basis.
So the information he'd printed was junk, but he was really
really convinced that the car companies and government were suppressing this information, which obviously explains how he was able to find it all very easily with Google.
He figured that he could simply use free energy devices to make electricity to power electrolysis to make hydrogen to power a car. Of course, why he wouldn't just use the free energy device to
directly power the car, I'll never know.
About a month later, fliers started appearing on campus advertising this "run your car on water" kit. He probably really thinks that he's helping humanity by liberating us from the physicist-chemist-government-automotive conspiracy. What this friend of yours thinks of her "psychic" practice, I don't know. People indulging her fantasy probably isn't helping though.
Also, you mention "knowing her personally." This might also mean that she's privy to some detailed information about you through various social connections.
