The Voice of Heard/The Business of Magical Thinking and Quantum Mysticism
Submitted by TC Tim on June 10, 2008 - 10:53am.
When you are familiar with science, have you ever given yourself time to evaluate claims such as "consciousness creates reality" or "you are the only one who affects the reality you see"? That is not the case with most people. Esspecially those who have viewed films such as What the #$*! Do We Know!? and The Secret, a couple of "documentaries" that misrepresent sciences such as neuroscience and quantum physics to support New Age claims such as "Objective Reality" and "the Law of Attraction".
As a man of science, I find these films to be manipulative in terms of both science and religion and exploitative in marketing terms. In order to prove what I am saying, I would like you to look at the links below that disected both films in an objective, scientific manner:

These articles explain the films better than I can. Please let me know your thoughts after you read them. We must preserve the line that seperates constructive scientific facts from distorted fantasy in the guise of treatment for unhappiness.
