The problem is that so many of our powers seem so mundane. For instance, I can predict your future tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, next month, next year, and even 100 years from now. (It starts like this: tomorrow you will have a normal day. It ends like this: a hundred years from now you’ll be dead.) It may not be perfectly accurate, but it’s at least as good if not better than any fortune teller. Yet in terms of what people want to know, that is incredibly boring.
