From religion to statism to those silly products that use magnetism or holograms to "react positively with your body's natural frequencies and energy" for some supposed miraculous benefit.
Its all a scam that feeds on the desire of people to have a genie grant their wishes. It's all a rejection of reality. And some magical thinking isn't just a waste of time and money that harms no one but the foolish devotee: some of it kills others.
