Oh? So you're over there like super-rational-all-the-time life has no mystery in it?

> IOW, it's not an insult, it's a compliment.

Neither, just an indication that you're comfortable taking a completely dismissive attitude towards things you haven't actually taken the time to study and understand.

I found a great quote from the blog of someone who looks pretty smart:

The more you know, the more you realize you know nothing. --Socrates

Curiously from a blog post titled "Zen and the art of logging" - so clearly this person is open to mystical mumbo-jumbo? After all, does meditation work? Does zen work? Best not to have a strong opinion until you have "gone and seen for yourself."

But you do you.

> Best not to have a strong opinion until you have "gone and seen for yourself."

I think this is the best part - the only way to know that voodoo is, indeed, voodoo, is to study it.

IOW, what makes you think I am unfamiliar with the various types of voodoo?

Is your mind that tiny that you cannot imagine that someone took a long look into something before dismissing it as voodoo?
