The question is completely misleading. Tarot cards exist. Numerology, horoscopes, and palm readers exist. The practitioners of said disciplines exist and seem to make some form of living. The real question is the efficacy. Are the claims supported by real, reputable and repeatable evidence.

I'm assuming that the multiverse option refers to M Theory? I'm not sure the likelihood exceeds 10%, but the science people say it's possible, so I'll give it a go.

There's a more comprehensive list in "Pseudoscience: A Critical Encyclopedia" by Brian Regal

At present these work for/are real to me.
I think taking any kind of positive action or embracing an inspiring idea or being open to possibility is important in learning and growing.

My views may change lol.

I think that our brains are capable of doing way more than we currently utilize them for. And I think it is totally possible that there are other cognizant beings that exist who knows where but not here. And I don't understand why chiropractic is on here. It's your bones, you put them in the right place and you feel better…

I think it refers to the many claims that chirocractics can do more than just ease back or joint pain mildly.... there are lots of claims that "proper" joint alignments can cure all sorts of outlandish ailments, much like the claims of accupunture.

In re tarot cards: In no way d ok I think that they are able to divine the future; however, I have been using them for meditative practice following a Jungian approach in interpreting them.

I think the question was if Tarot could perform any kind of divining function. I would with 99% certainty say no to that. However, they can definitely be applied with a psychological approach, rather than a supernatural one. Perform the tarot reading as intended... but rather than believing what each card you deal are hinting at a possible future, analyze what they mean to you specifically. What do you want, how do you feel, etc.... they can absolutely help to focus on a little introspection.

10% is probably still to high for most of these.

So how is 'Multiverse' here different from 'Alternate Realities'?

Multiverse is basically if we were able to zoom suuuper far out and see that our Big Bang isn't the only one and there are many universes out there. Alternate realities is seemingly more sci fi, the idea is like "copies" of our one universe that are overlapping but on a different plane or another dimension. .. so multiverse is just more universes (big bangs) but they are still in our same reality. (That's my basic understanding of it, I might be wrong)
