It's The Psychic Shops - Gathering Info On Every Neighborhood In America - That Lets Me Know I'm Firmly In The 21st Century (And Not Stuck In The Dark Ages)

Neal deGrasse Tyson once said "Scientific literacy inoculates you from charlatanism", but there is nothing in my experience to say that's true: scientists and skeptics are culturally and politically illiterate, and vote to support Oprah's party of quacks, frauds and rapists, like everyone else. They might as well be NewAgers for all the good science does them against cultism.

"The New Agers took it up. The crystals and homeopathy crowd. Oh, I don't really mind. People can believe what they want, no problem, unless it hurts someone else."

-- James Lovelock, Scientist, and inventor of the "Gaia Theory" (2009)

NewAge apologists' always say "unless it hurts someone else" - long after we know the harm their misinformation is already causing.

The media can (and will) tell you ‘Healing’ crystals are having a pandemic moment. But science says they’re just pretty stones, but they don't connect it to, say, Madonna and other celebrity idiots, or feminism, or TED Talks, or Life Coaching, or the horror of that creepy time I had with a bunch of French adults as they furiously counted the sides of the rocks to determine what they "mean". They just tell you they're "having a moment".

Glenn Reynolds once observed "the snarling, wicked, homicidal misanthropy beneath its cloak of gentle, bunny-hugging righteousness.' It always ends up as mass murder, real or fantasized, with these people. That’s what they do."

When it comes to the NewAge Movement, he - and the rest - forget all that, as soon as it leaves their mouths. So NewAge is always "having a moment" forever.
