      People won’t listen to “if you walk under a ladder you might get hit by a paint bucket” but they will listen to “if you walk under a ladder some nondescript aethereal force will give you bad luck”. What is wrong with our brains.

        It’s pretty much the same as “Don’t do that, it’s wrong.” vs “Don’t do that, God doesn’t like it.”

        That is from times where a majority of people were trained to believe in an a nondescript invisible being. It does things to your brain.
