webfact Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Fever Of Hoaxes, Superstitions Deluge Cave Rescue Frenzy By Teeranai Charuvastra, Staff Reporter Family of one of the 13 people missing in Tham Luang Nang Non Cave lay offerings to local spirits on Monday in Chiang Ria province. BANGKOK — The authorities on Thursday said they have not yet found the dozen young footballers and their coach who went missing inside a cave nearly a week ago, contrary to rumors on social media. As the search operation has become the national monotopic and a source of interest abroad, it’s invited the kind of rampant misinformation that has come to characterize the online world. While the effort has attracted the thoughts and prayers if millions, it has also inspired expression of powerful superstition and virtual hoaxes.

It's a sad reflection on the nature of many people that when they stop feeling in control, superstitious mumbo-jumbo and spirits in the sky fill the void left where common sense used to live. The only malevolent curse at work here was the stupidity curse. There's a reason why Buddhism and other animistic religions appeal so strongly to unintelligent and uneducated populations, who distort them because following them properly is too hard.

newatthis Posted June 29, 2018 Share Posted June 29, 2018 Seriously though, this is some of the stuff floating around. Even my wife spoke, this morning, of the ghosts living in those caves. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/asia_pacific/spirit-of-mythical-princess-looms-over-thai-cave-crisis/2018/06/27/7feaa5a4-79f6-11e8-ac4e-421ef7165923_story.html?utm_term=.86d537958f70 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
