The field of ageing research is full of characters. We have hucksters claiming that cures for ageing can be bought and sold; prophetic seers, their hands extended for money, warning that immortality is nigh; and would-be Nobelists working methodically in laboratories in search of a pill to slow ageing.

Most comics point out what everyone else is thinking but hadn't thought of verbalizing. I guess, in a way, that makes most comics seers. It just depends in what category - some choose to be the seers of relationships, some are seers of racial issues, and some are seers of political issues.

American Comedian

Pankaj Mishra

As a writer, I tend to be drawn to marginal people - writers, poet-prophets, seers, eccentrics - who embody the deeper ambivalences of their societies and bear deeper witness to their world than the famous figures we are used to celebrating, or demonizing, in our histories.

Our Heavenly Father continues to communicate with us through revelation. These revelations are communications of divine directions. They may come to us personally or through the voice of the Lord's chosen servants, the prophets, seers, and revelators.

American Clergyman

Socrates

I decided that it was not wisdom that enabled poets to write their poetry, but a kind of instinct or inspiration, such as you find in seers and prophets who deliver all their sublime messages without knowing in the least what they mean.

Greek Philosopher

Deepak Chopra

We are not victims of aging, sickness and death. These are part of scenery, not the seer, who is immune to any form of change. This seer is the spirit, the expression of eternal being.

A public role endures for the literary high-command, as sages and seers, speaking out on social and political issues.

Literary Device

The word implies a special, often revered ability to perceive what's hidden or to come.

Mystical Connotations

Used metaphorically to describe someone with profound, insightful understanding of a subject.

Metaphorical Insight

In a modern context, it implies a connection to spirituality or new age beliefs.

Modern Spirituality

This use of 'seer' as someone who sees is archaic and not commonly used today.

Old-fashioned Usage

This definition is region-specific and is a physical measure, unlike the others.

South Asian Measurement

Not a Global Unit
