On the positive I do believe we live in times where more folk have a better grasp on facts.
Certainly we can joke about the nutters etc but go back a century or two pre the notion of evolution and the belief the world was only 6000 years old.
Superstition ruled perhaps through an absence of fact as opposed to any rejection of same.
What I was able to come to grips with by exposure to someone who believed tarot cards worked was this persons reality worked on the basis tarot cards REALLY worked.
He really believed they worked. And yet this chap was very clever and extremely competent.
He could repair anything, cars, tv, mechanical or electrical.
Most of us dont get to see this close up and I found it most difficult to understand until I just accepted to him the stuff I see as nonsence was as real as the setting Sun.
I dont think its a new strain in fact I doubt any such research took place.
I visit another forum and there is achap there who beieves in ghosts and ufos, he sounds crazy but is well spoken and would pass as very inteligent if he did not mention ghosts or ufos.
But he believes and wont have it that photos are faked or folk lie about what they see...
Its all too much.
But I dont buy the finding of a new strain of fact resistance humans.. They have always been with us.
