Holy shit, the ruling class haven't progressed from Nazi pseudoscience at all. These are some of the most powerful people on Earth and they're barely smarter than cave people that think their own shadows are ghosts.

Anecdotally, I've seen scammy fortune teller signs in poor places, and the poorer, the greater the chance I see one. It's a tragic symbiosis -- no way to make money to live or leave turns people to prey on others' desperate hopes and ignorance, and that same need for hope draws in the ignorant. Maybe it's the same reason people play the lottery when they know the odds of winning are ridiculously low... People are paying for hope and a temporary fantasy.
