Very sad, especially in the new millennium of space rockets, science, self driving cars, airplanes, remote surgeries, DNA modifications, organ growth in labs, disease cures, doubling average human life and so on. Some will never even want to get it.

I have come to believe some people are born and wired predisposed to seek unknown superpower help because they are insecure, fearful of something - no matter how much education, travel, exposure to science and progressive ideas etc. There are deeply religious people in LA and New York is the proof. In the family of agnostics and atheists of mine, the most educated, most traveled member was super religious and superstitious since early school days to death. I still think about why and whow.
