I believe in some things some might call "pseudoscientific bullshit", yet I'd like to think I'm thoughtful about it.
@Ulfra_Wolfe same, although I feel that the word "believe" is somewhat stretched here. Merely because I find value in a concept doesn't mean I "believe" in it, in the conventionally understood way.
@Ulfra_Wolfe Take, for example, my growing curiosity about devising a personal alchemy. One person's "pseudoscience" is another person's deeply felt mythology--at long as it's acknowledged AS mythology, and not as a statement about the nature of physical reality.
@kara_dreamer @Ulfra_Wolfe Alchemy is made up of two fields one being modification of ones soul, the other is what likely evolved into early chemistry.
@codeawayhaley @Ulfra_Wolfe I want to learn more about the second aspect, truthfully, especially the work of the Muslim alchemists. They seem to have been a lot more systematic than the Western practitioners, and gave us a lot of our chemical terminology
