The only innovation (and I use this word in its most euphemistic sense) that ever comes into woo is the result of woos attempting to coopt poorly understodd concepts and buzzwords they hear coming from the scientific community, and even this only manages to apply a layer of glossy paint over the same centuries old concepts, without introducing any genuinely new ideas.Valhar2000https://www.blogger.com/profile/05467019327257867276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13030925.post-61868620855526698652009-05-20T22:11:00.481-05:002009-05-20T22:11:00.481-05:00Actually the boredom is one of the pillars of my f...Actually the boredom is one of the pillars of my frustration, disgust, and rage.

Staying with psychic powers for that long either requires dedication, or a keen and avid disregard for historical fact.MWchasehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08195851187187771113noreply@blogger.com
