Magical Thinking
Have you experienced or exercised the Law of Attraction?
Details appreciated.
This is called magical thinking.
Magical thinking has a 200,000 year history, however magical thinking was challenged by the Enlightenment in the 18th Century.
And of course magical thinking persists to this day.
It is very common in the Third World, but still persists very strongly in the First World.
Magical thinking persists in the First World in the New Age, and MBTI is part of the New Age.
And MBTI is a perfect example of magical thinking and how resistant it is to reason.
It would be wonderful if Santa were so, and it would be wonderful if heaven were so, and it would be wonderful if the law of attractioin were so, and it would be wonderful if MBTI were so.
But it is just wisful thinking - we think the thoughts and say the words, and poof, it magically appears.
In the South Pacific it is called the Cargo Cult.
But in reality, it is empty ritual.
