all of this new age crap.

so last night i went to this studio to hear these bands play, drink free vodka, and, apparently, have conversations with new age dorks.

in the middle of this perfectly rational conversation, some guy started saying that he didn't believe in cancer.

his reasoning was that since some ppl smoke all their lives and don't get cancer while other ppl hardly smoke at all and get cancer. after i argued the difference btwn causation and correlation, he said cancer is a hoax, a state of mind that can be avoided with "happy thoughts" and meditative living; he said that if you don't believe in cancer then you can never get it, thus it doesn't exist.

what the

i mean this is ridiculous. adapting an idea just because it sounds cool and is "shocking" is the most horrible thing i have ever heard, excluding only totino's party pizza.

did all the new age congregate to austin or are they elsewhere

is it a waste of energy to argue with them or my responsibility to make them see the light of rationality
