Page Viewing and Editing Disabled
As you may know, Issuepedia has been going slow recently. We are about to fix this, but editing pages must be disabled temporaily to complete this delicate operation.
See http://wiki.on.nimp.org/issuepedia for more information.
In the mean time, there are plenty of other tasks that need to be done. There is a huge backlog of cleanup to do on the French Issuepedia, and there is many controversial topics involving Spanish, German, and Italian-speaking people who want their issues heard on Issuepedia. Have fun and be patient while we fix things.

-[[category:worldviews]][[category:working definitions]][[Mysticism]] is the belief that it is ''preferable'' for some things to remain mysterious and incomprehensible. This belief often hides behind a facade of argument that we simply ''cannot'' understand such things, at least not yet, and so any attempts to do so are a waste of time and resources.

-In the mystical worldview, sources of information which are not well understood &ndash; such as intuition, dreams, and visions &ndash; are of key significance, while logical reasoning and quantifiable data are generally suspect.

-One corollary of this is that an idea which is ''understandable'' is generally given more credence than an idea which is ''complicated'', even if the latter is ''verifiably true'' or the former is ''verifiably false''; for this reason, mystical ideas are often quite successful [[meme]]s due to their ease of absorption.
