The tarot card trial…It is not a valid experiment. No control group and a multitude of subjective possible outcomes…with a sample size of one. To even bother with such an experiment the claim should at least have some sort of explanatory mechanism proposed besides ‘magic’. If I had the money, I would gladly buy every single deck of tarot cards in the world and burn them. Still not a real experiment but I would use some Ouija boards and rosary beads as kindling.

Our ability to imagine, believe and rally around fictitious concepts such as money, religion, and human rights was key to our domination of the planet; allowing us to organize and cooperate on grand scales…It’s hard for us to shake it off, but some of our fictitious beliefs are now just holding us back.
