What is magical thinking? ??
Magical thinking is the belief that unrelated events are causally connected despite the absence of any plausible causal link. ?✨
It seems a rational person should avoid magical thinking at all cost. ? However, as a matter of practicality we act on all kinds of assumptions, without ever considering the justification. In fact, justification often comes after the fact and/or act. ?
We often act on gut feel, for example, or act on intuition or without thought in an emergency. In fact, it seems like we use magical thinking all the time in our every day lives. ?‍?
What do you think? ?
If you want to participate in the magic of coffee and philosophy you're very welcome to attend our philosophical café. It's free, open, and no previous knowledge is required. Everyone is welcome!
☕ We start at 19:00 but please come early if you want a magic brew of coffee with the discussion! ⌚☕
Let's have a magical night. ? See you there!
