Experts

Random quote of the day:

“We have come to expect explanations whenever anything mysterious occurs, and there was always an “expert” willing to oblige. No matter how ludicrous the expert’s explanation, we are usually satisfied because we would rather be assured that the mystery has been solved then give it a moment’s thought.”

—Patrick Harpur, Daimonic Reality

Humans are decidedly discomfited by the uncomfortable, and for most the mysterious is often synonymous with uncomfortable.

Ain't that the truth? We're so terrified to move outside those comfort zones.
