Left Outside

"In our age there is no such thing as 'keeping out of politics.' All issues are political issues, and politics itself is a mass of lies, evasions, folly, hatred and schizophrenia. "

In which capitalism reject paranormal woo

Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it.

Rule 1: If it works, there is someone profiting from it. [1]

Rule 2: If no one is profiting from it, then it doesn’t work. Practitioners of woo take note.

    Cool table.

    Of course quite a few people are making money out of homeopathy, but not in the way you suggest!

    There was a firm which claimed to invest on the basis of astrology, not sure how well they did.

    I love the idea of the military using hexes.
    That was a theme in “Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell”.

      Yeah, you’ve got to be careful.

      There is a market for “reassuring ill people” and for “curing ill people” and that homeopathy does well in one but not the other should be obvious.

Left Outside is always worth a read for passionate, and frequently irreverent, analysis and comment.

Oi! Enough of the cheek!
