What’s the harm?

This is probably the most frequent question asked of skeptics, and it’s an excellent question. The simple answer is, No, you won’t die from reading your daily horoscope, unless you do it while standing under a large falling rock. BUT, superstitious beliefs and paranormal thinking easily leads to poor decision making, needlessly living in imaginary fears, and mass hysteria when these beliefs are held by groups.

This site will highlight the costs, in lives, families, and nations affected by this type of thinking, not only in the past, but the present as well, with commentary added.

Be warned, you may find some of the stories shocking, disturbing, or horrifying. That is the point. This affects all of us, whether we subscribe to these beliefs or not, we could still be victim to them.

About This Site

As a guy who occasionally curates art shows and wrangles artists together, I often have to edit and post artist bios, profile pictures, and artwork images. This can be a problem, since many artists and writers aren’t used to selling themselves. Artists rarely know how to present their art for display in a brochure, and writers aren’t used to writing about themselves.

Writers often treat the bio like it’s an interview or something. Maybe like they’re having a conversation with you, the reader. While it may work sometimes, the most common way to write a bio is to write in the 3rd person.

I’m like those writers, and I’m talking to you directly, unlike the common way to do a bio. You should see my About page. It makes sense to me, since this is a bit which describes my blog’s website. When I get famous enough that I don’t have time to talk to you, I’ll have an intern write everything in 3rd person. Until then, you get to talk to me.

Like blogs of old, this one is a personal document of the comings and goings of me. Articles I’ve written, links I’ve posted, videos I liked, etc. Here, a first-person perspective is the way to go, at least for now. So, this is my site. I’m D. H. McKee, a sometimes artist, sometimes writer. Mostly just a guy on the internet.
