{{A table is labeled with three columns: “Crazy phenomenon,” “If it worked, people would be using it to make a killing in…” and “Are they?”}}
Remote Viewing, Dowsing - Oil Prospecting -
Auras, Homeopathy, Remote Prayer - Health Care Cost Reduction -
Astrology, Tarot - Financial
Business Planning -
Crystal Energy - Regular Energy -
Curses, Hexes - The Military -
Relativity - GPS Devices - X
Quantum Electrodynamics - Semiconductor Circuit Design - X
Eventually, arguing that these things work means arguing that modern capitalism isn’t THAT ruthlessly profit-focused.
