         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Definition:</strong> People use <strong>pseudoscience </strong>to garner fame and money. They often target vulnerable individuals<br><br><strong>Connection:</strong> Most people who claim to be a medium or psychic are motivated by money like Rev. Dorota Clifford. To be able to have a 30-minute session with her, it will cost you $100(you can also buy merchandise and other services.). People who do have a session with a psychic should go in there with a <strong>Sceptical </strong>mind and use<strong> critical thinking </strong>to make sure they aren't fooled and are able to <strong>recognize their own biases</strong>.<strong>&nbsp;</strong></div><div>&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Definition:</strong> Something that originates from centuries ago that has not changed since its inception. <br><br><strong>Connection: </strong>Alchemy, as it was traditionally practised, has not progressed. There have been no advancements in the field since the inception of chemistry. None of the original goals were ever met(creating the elixir of life and the Philosopher's Stone). Alchemy and chemistry are also not the same thing. Alchemy is the ancient belief of using magical methods to create results whereas chemistry uses the <strong>scientific method</strong>.</div><div><br></div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Definition: </strong>People who are blinded by their faith and refuse to acknowledge evidence as science is unable to explain mystical events. &nbsp;</div><div><strong><br>Connection: </strong>Researchers at Goldsmiths, University of London conducted an experiment to figure out whether mediums can use psychic abilities. After using the <strong>scientific method</strong> and concluding that they can not use psychic abilities one of the mediums stated that the experiment "doesn't prove a thing". Many believers online agreed with her stating that science can't explain mythical abilities. They all were unable to use <strong>critical thinking</strong> to <strong>recognize their own bias</strong> because of <strong>group&nbsp; thinking</strong>.</div>]]></description>

They will purposely target these people as they are vulnerable and won't be able to use <strong>critical thinking</strong> to realise they are being fooled.&nbsp;</div>]]></description>

         <description><![CDATA[<div><strong>Definition:&nbsp;</strong>Mystical energy is the basis for most pseudoscience.

To avoid this they should use the&nbsp;<strong>critical thinking process</strong> to <strong>recognize their bias and evaluate the evidence</strong> to come to a conclusion.</div>]]></description>
