You don't know what "new age woo" means? It means crystals, and 3rd eyes and chakras and acupuncture. Sailing over a garden before defeating a thief with nothing but the moral righteousness of an unchained spirit falls into that same catagory for me.
There is no "secret knowledge. It either works, and it becomes science and medicine and known physical laws, or it doesn't and should be consigned to the dustbin of history. This kind of just so story and navel gazing philosophizing falls deeply into the second catagory for me. I've know too many wanna be self help gurus. It becomes an immune response after a while. Basically, it is all BS unless you can prove something or test something.
Yup.
But the options are still “make the case” or “ignore.” Can’t just appeal to that immune response. Them’s the rules.
Same deal as how you’ve talked about religion. Even if you and I think it’s bunk, we’ve got to write with the intent of reaching theists.
