We never left mysticism.

  "We" may be a bit over-generalized, but mysticism and superstition are certainly essential for totalitarian ideologies. > people even of supposedly “normal” mind are prepared to accept systems of delusions for the simple reason that it is too difficult to distinguish such systems from the equally inexorable and equally opaque one under which they actually have to live out their lives. This is pretty well reflected by astrology as well by the two brands of totalitarian states which also claim to have a key for everything, know all the answers, reduce the complex to simple and mechanical inferences, doing away with anything that is strange and unknown and at the same time fail to explain anything. https://www.telospress.com/adorno-on-astrology/ https://www.telospress.com/adorno-on-astrology/ I suppose it is easy to find evidence in today's society as well.
