I believe in what is observable, proven, and reliable. I've seen little evidence of this applying to any of the above.

I put my faith into what is observable and provable, but I can still believe in things that aren't. That is why religion has always been stupid to me, you can believe whatever you want but don't let it influence how you live.

People can buy into whatever they want, but I personally believe in confirmation bias and don't waste my time with the stuff.

I read tarot cards every day. They contain archetypes of life that most people encounter, so the images are somewhat universal for everyone. To take the true message of the tarot is to really just reflect inward on what the images mean to you, now. They're a mirror of yourself and your situation. For example you'd ask the tarot cards, "What do I need to know about situation X" and throw down a spread, which will give you new perspective on the question based on the way you interpret the cards as they land. So it gives you a new way of looking at something. It's not some gypsy fortune telling tool. That's from Hollywood movies. Other forms of cartmancy like Lenormand and other Oracle cards are future-predicting gypsy style fortune telling cards.

I think Karma happens to an extent. But the problem with calling them pseudo-sciences is, when you apply the scientific method to any of them, they all break down. So, I wouldn't even call them pseudo-science. They are just beliefs.

No, I wouldn't waste my time on such nonsense. Just because I believe in it doesn't mean that it has any validity whatsoever.

If you like the idea of astrology and tarot cards you should check out MBTI personality type. It's like astrology, but with actual science, so it's more realistic. I've learned a lot about myself and others based on it, and it doesn't sound dumb when bringing it up with rational types. since it's not a pseudoscience.

Karma is real to the extent that people are often treated the way they treat others, but certainly there is no cosmic, supernatural or divine justice.
