This is the problem with "cultural relativism" in general, which states that we cannot, must not, judge the beliefs and customs of other cultures because who are we to condemn them? We should condemn magical thinking wherever it happens because truth is truth and falsehoods are falsehoods regardless of in which culture(s) they occur. And they pretty much occur in every country. Another way of saying that is we should NOT condemn magical thinking in other cultures UNLESS we also condemn it in our own culture. It is not like its impossible to tell what is magical thinking and what is not, we have science for doing just that. |
