Is Paul or Ringo going to be the next to go?

I don't mean for this to sound rude, but they're very blunt questions.

What makes you certain that this is psychic ability and not mental illness or brain damage caused by your overdose?
What makes you certain that you're not just particularly empathetic and easily able to read people easily and subconsciously draw conclusions?
Have you, in your personal time, done any sort of controlled testing of your abilities to rule out cognitive biases, particularly confirmation bias? Stuff like writing down what you feel and comparing the number of hits and misses.
