For example, belief in the predictive power of astrology; the beneficial effects of feng shui; the conspiracy twaddle of the Illuminati or Bilderberg Group; or that democracy is the only way to go for all societies; or that we can control the climate cycles of the planet (global warming)? We know it’s nuts. Why do we cling to it?

because really any idea can/will be manipulated OP

plus a lot of the sciences/mathematics to observe/process the natural really are so abstract for the everyday person/beyond their grasp, they cling onto pseudosciences/niche political ideas to make themselves feel smart, and to an extent there is a certain validity in that, but for some reason I feel like this topic was not made in good faith, so I'm just leaving it at that.

astrology is scientifically true though

this outta be good

pseudo scientifically

bait

i haven’t looked into it in awhile but i’m pretty sure the bilderberg group is real and quite secretive. i don’t believe in the “illuminati” but i feel like it would be naive to assume that powerful people / world leaders aren’t in someway making shadowy deals for profits / other things that affect us in one way or another

I’m an advocate for astrology I don’t know why I just am

@op why on earth do you think feng shui is bullshit

it's demonstrably true

also where is the climate change denial coming from lmao

cus it's based in truth!

archetypes rule this world

Pretty sure the Romans and Greeks were pagans

How is climate change patently scientifically false lol gonna need your explanation @op

Title was lowkey a banger but then you read op and it falls off

Right, the examples chosen are weird

Not even

We are subjective beings with subjective experiences

Even if a mf believes in something we cannot concretely assert is real

Who gives a f***

The claim be one’s even worse once OP began this stupid ramble about climate change and democracy

Thought he was gonna take it in the direction of dissing climate denial w/ science but he instead supported it. Had me fooled

Most people lack the ability to think rationally and with common sense. Their emotions overpower and dictate their thoughts.
