Magical thinking is a big part of what is leading the human species toward extinction. It can lead to witch hunts. It can lead to racism. It can certainly destroy the credibility of any otherwise scientific argument that you are trying to make. Superstitious leaders can be very dangerous. Do you really want a president who consults with a delusion, before making a life-and-death decision, that could affect all of us? Magical thinking, of one sort or another, is often a significant part of the justification for going to war. It certainly exacerbates the anti-science thinking that leads some people to deny the reality of human-induced climate change. Like I said, magical thinking is a big part of what is killing us all and destroying our childrens future. We have to fight back! We have to be educational warriors against magical thinking!!! This website is currently being circulated, on Facebook: climateviewer/. At first glance, it seems to have some interesting graphical data, regarding locations that are contaminated by radioactive material. There really are such places. So, that seems real. ...but, then, they start talking about chemtrails, HAARP, and how the U.S. military has been developing weather-control technology, as a weapon, for many years, now. Whoa!! Heres a good CSICOP article that debunks the chemtrails bullshit: csicop.org/sb/show/chemtrail_conspiracy/ csicop.org/sb/show/skepticism_in_argentina_life_and_death_and_magical_thinking/
