"snip...The special mana of Mauna Kea can be felt by all whose ancestral gauges are calibrated correctly. In fact, this super natural power is acknowledged not just by Hawaiians, but by people from all over the world, who regard Mauna Kea, and other summits of high mountains, as places that bring us more closely into connection with the spiritual world, hence Wao Akua....snip"

Oh, enough already!

What exactly is an ancestral gauge? And how might I have mine calibrated properly? I suppose I am beyond hope...but to my mind aloha and malama are concepts that support the TMT.

I am so sick of magical thinking masquerading as Truth that trumps reality, that trumps every logical point, that "elevates" the magical thinker to superior status and immunity from reason.

I am not naive enough to think that the "I'm so spiritual and aloha-ish compared to you" drivel doesn't resonate with a particular percentage of the human population. But I do resent that these folks think they should decide on something as important as the TMT.

Embarrassed of my species...
