@hazardwarning Interesting, makes me think of something the person who started Fortean Times said. He said that mystical thinking isn’t a flaw in the system. It’s a feature, just in case the patterns we think we’ve noticed turn out to be true.
And Jordan Peterson says that negative thinking (which is more common in women than men) is useful when looking after children…but that there’s a price to pay. Namely anxiety.
