I'm not saying that you misinterpreted the point of What the $&*% Do We Know, but I think you may have missed it. I mean, the film built its case on a sort of science which is questionable, but that was all just a thin support to appease people like you. The Secret doesn't really try to do that.

The point of both was really that positive thinking is more constructive than negative thinking. I probably shouldn't stick up for them, because I hate them as much as you, but I wouldn't call The Secret especially pseudoscience.

I'd also argue with you about palmistry, or tarot or ouija or zodiac, for that matter. Everyone knows that they are vague, and everyone knows that the "science" upon which they are built isn't the point of the exercise. The point is to, as you kind of concluded, reorient your thinking, or at least reframe your worldview to potentially cause you to notice different things.

Ionized water, I'll give you, but those hologram things? That is the MOST POWERFUL ENERGY BAND IN THE WORLD. You can't tell me that's not impressive.
