Can you be intelligent and superstitious at the same time?

Why is it that when things seem uncertain, we turn to the supernatural, i.e. things which seem to have mysterious or magical powers? Can you consider yourself to be intelligent or logical if you believe such things? If the placebo effect is real, how is that any different than a superstition?

The GliderCell Concept: A Weekly Brainstorming Session

Join us for a weekly brainstorming session. Share your ideas with people from different lines of work and get immediate feedback.

This meeting is for anyone wishing to share an idea, plan or project. One of the themes of GliderCell is to promote cross pollination or bring in people with multiple perspectives. In education, they refer to that as "heterogeneous" groups. Others refer to this with terms like "integrated thinking" or "consilience." Whatever you call it, it seems to work! This is your chance to meet others, network and try out your ideas in a judgement free, open and creative environment. A good mix of so-called Left and Right Brain people would be ideal. You might be an entrepreneur, teacher, writer, musician, scientist, researcher, architect, engineer, technologist, fitness guru, business owner, lawyer, physician, plumber, runner, hiker or gym owner. Polymaths (creative generalists) and project managers are encouraged to attend. For more information, see https://glidercell.com/join-us
