#i wrote my social psychology bachelor thesis vaguely about the paranormal

[lunar-system]

The moment when Stede says the curse is real because the crew experiences it as real? That's literally how qualitative studies describe paranormal phenomena. It doesn't matter whether or not it's "real" in the natural scientific way, it's real in their reality and you gotta deal with it accordingly. It's so anachronistic to have Stede talk that way, this kind of research has existed for less than 50 years, ever since the discursive turn in social sciences. Loved it.
