What's The Harm?
I thought I'd share this, since I often bang on about the harm caused by pseudoscience...

I just didn't realise how bad it was at times Sad

Fun but depressing reminder of the danger a lack of critical thinking can cause.

Just from the stories they were able to find: 368,379 people killed, 306,096 injured and over $2,815,931,000 in economic damages.
Self-authenticating private evidence is useless, because it is indistinguishable from the illusion of it. ― Kel, Kelosophy Blog

If you’re going to watch tele, you should watch Scooby Doo. That show was so cool because every time there’s a church with a ghoul, or a ghost in a school. They looked beneath the mask and what was inside?
The f**king janitor or the dude who runs the waterslide. Throughout history every mystery. Ever solved has turned out to be. Not Magic.
