I love me some psuedoscience and futurism, but I'm still 100% Scully when it comes to spirituality. I can't help but roll my eyes at friends who decide to believe in such things, like my friends who recently decided to take up Wiccan for fun, or taking any of it seriously. It just feels like the comfortable beliefs that humans gravitate towards when there's something they don't understand, and then viciously defend when contrarians inevitably arrive with something tangible or objective that illuminates their previous dark corner. How do you reconcile the two?
