  • 4:27 "Shamans and priests" ...

    While the conscious deception that Pinker describes is no doubt true in many cases (and, at a subconscious level, probably true in most cases), it does seem to me that many shamans believe utterly that they have powers.

    Indeed, amongst so-called "psychics" there is a term — "Shut Eyed" — which denotes somebody who has become convinced that his or her "powers" are real.

  • God is man writ large both in his pettyness and grandeur. The sublime & the grotesque.
