    Obviously there's nothing wrong with rationality - it brings order to our lives - but even rationality can't explain everything.

    I don't know if you've ever read Stephen Hawking's 'A Brief History Of Time', but he acknowledges in that book that there are happenings in the universe that are beyond our present human understanding. Rationality and logic have their limits, I'm afraid. Sorry to break it to you.

    But he didn't go on to suggest that you might ask the white witch from Cobh to fill in the bits he couldn't explain now did he?

    Any gaps in our knowledge will be filled in by science or not at all. There is no other method by which we will ever learn anything factual about the universe.

    Rationality can't explain everything so we should go listen to snake oil selling con artists to explain the rest.

    I think someone needs to accept rational thinking into their heart.

    You wouldn't mind quoting where Hawking claims that rationality and logic have their limits.

    I don't believe for a second he said anything like this, nor would any reasonable scientist.

    I must have taken something in my sleep, did I really just read something that said we should give the same credence to fortune tellers as we give to scientists who show evidence? I must be really high.

    I don't care if it's mean, people who fall for these shysters and talk about them as being "good" at what they do, deserve everything they get.

    If they were to give an accurate reading to the kid of people who go to them, what would be the most common thing said is "You are gonna live a boring monotonous life, taking resort holidays, doing nothing of great importance and overall achieving nothing. Then you'll die and in 2 generations be forgotten"

    There's a guy in Fermoy who saw me pacing in a small circle by the bus stop. He predicted that I was waiting for the bus. He was pretty good, I mean he barely even looked at me...

    He can't be any good if he didn't charge you.

    That's how you can tell if people have a god-given talent - they charge you money.
