There is an island to the north-east of Australia where the cult of aircraft worshipers is widespread. Adherents of this cult believe that manufactured goods are gifts of gods sent to natives, but taken away by evil white people. Natives build long lanes and depict the behavior of airbase soldiers in ritual dances. This is the way they pray that a military plane will arrive, and, like at the time of their ancestors, drop cargo with goods to the American base located on that island, and the military will, once again, share with the natives.

Aircraft worship is an example of “magical thinking” that is the opposite of critical thinking. Magical thinking is very common among the modern inhabitants of civilized countries.
