Holy shit, the ruling class haven't progressed from Nazi pseudoscience at all. These are some of the most powerful people on Earth and they're barely smarter than cave people that think their own shadows are ghosts.

I'd say that general woo stuff is very common among the poor. Stuff like astrology and ghosts and such. But I think there's a subset of rich people who really want to believe that they're rich because they're special and insightful and know stuff we plebs don't know, and that fuels some other types of woo that are less common down here.

I call this "prosperity gospel for new-agers".

Around me, rich people have that sort of thinking but with "christian" asthetics.
