"30% of Americans Consult Astrology, Tarot Cards or Fortune Tellers" reports the Pew Research Center.
That's a lot, but "most say they engage in these practices for fun, rather than for insights or guidance on life decisions." Which makes me wish Pew had probed deeper, to maybe ask what's so "fun" about telling manipulative types the inner workings of your relationships and community?
Or what's so "fun" about letting liars know you're gullible?
What's so "fun" about possibly helping "fortunetellers" update the information on you, kept on their own private online community bulletin boards, that they can consult to know specific things about someone, no matter which "fortuneteller" they consult in the area?
What's so "fun" about undermining science, while keeping profoundly unscientific (and sometimes destructive) practices alive?
And what's so "fun" about representing, and proving, how bad your education, and the system that produced it, is?
