Since Q-Anon is in the news a lot lately...one might be curious where this kind of thinking comes from. However, this kind of thinking is not new...it's a twist on typical religious thinking. When people live in turbulent times, can't understand why things are happening, and have a strong need to find certainty...ideas like this pop up. Vague, ethereal, ideas that you can project all of your fears or hopes into and make all the connections yourself, without the need for evidence. It brings a feeling of certainty and order where there is none...it brings a feeling that you know why things happen, when you don't. Hopefully this can serve as a real world case-study for why we need to stop Magical Thinking in general.
