Lyndon LaRouche. I'd occasionally run across a few of his minions out leafletting and they oozed that culty wacko vibe.

This (https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0927650524001130?via%3Dihub#sec0027) appears to be the actual paper the article is talking about.

Looks like "The Complete Book of Magic and Witchcraft" by Kathryn Paulsen.

You can get a similar vibe out of golden curry by peeling and pureeing a couple apples. I add them after the onions get soft and fry some moisture out of them before the water and tubers go in.

I'm a huge fan of this style of curry, and went down a rabbit hole a few years ago learning lots of stuff about Japanese style curry.

It's because there was a book called "Folk Medicine: A Vermont Doctor's Guide to Good Health" that kicked off a health fad called the "Vermont health system" in Japan. It included drinking apple cider vinegar and honey. The curry then appropriated the name for its health connotations.

I think the overview effect is due much more to who went to space than to space itself.

The people who could go on space missions are intelligent, curious, thoughtful people because that's what it takes to achieve a spot on the ride. It makes sense that such a person might have a profound realization seeing Earth from outside.

So my answer is that even if everyone went to space, many would be unmoved or moved differently.

Why put chips and e-waste in there when a crank and escapement type doodad works just fine at a tenth the price?
