😆 yea. For instance, a former friend of mine, a hardcore psychologist and academic, always carried a green rune-like stone for ‘positive energy and good luck’.

In my (very personal) experience, people who boast about how rational and science-oriented they are tend to do some pretty irrational things, such as believing in amulets and marrying.

He’ll very much do something about it: express ‘deep concern’ and call ‘on all parties to respect (inter)national law’.
