Inhibition, well, you can fly
Out the window to the clear blue sky
It will mess your suit, it will make you cry
It doesn't matter, give me Mumdane pie

Anny Bessent was head of the Theosophical movement, a psuedo scientific organization/movement I was interested in way back. The link between science and the divine was a cornerstone of their thinking.

We still have bits of preudoscience left: scientology, homeopathy, gaia.

I would only have sympathy for the gaians.

The Gaians are useful in keeping the health of the planet in the public's eye. They're a subset of environmentalist, the cousin nobody wants to talk about.
