Wiccan wouldn't know what to do with a tarot card if it came with a training video and a free pair of intelligence magnifying space pants.

no but I am sure they could hang them around the house where people can see them so they can look deep and mysterious.

Oops! My train of thought has no rails, gets kinda messy from time to time.
Hangero:
"Universal Ethical Rational Egoism is the Machine(tm)"
I'll explain that now.
If there is a single overarching concept which permeates all realms of human behavior and natural phenomenon as we know it, it is the tendency for items to behave in ways which benefit themselves. Within humans it is easiest to see and explain, and boils down to people acting in a suprisingly enlightened manner as to what actually benefits themselves.
Some philosophers believe this is an ideal to be strived towards, but it is more so an inescapable fact of existence which limits the range of our behavior. We are unable to actually make a real decision, because decisions don't exist. Between Determinism, Causality, factors of enviornment, and Universal Ethical Rational Egoism, we are absolutely bound and held to a narrow and unbreakable set of possible behaviors.
To me, that is the very essence of the Machine.
Why I say it isn't ethical, is because anything which prohibits freedom must be unethical. Even if it is something that prevents us from harming ourselves or others, any barrier in the way of the actual will of whichever transcendental "us" that must exist somewhere else, is unacceptable and unethical.
Aside from that, Universal Ethical Egoism boils the human soul down to a mechanical animal, cheapens all of our actions and makes them all, whether we know it or not, selfish actions. Concepts like love, caring, kindness, humility, and friendship all become cynical spectres of themselves, reminding us of the truly shallow waters of our reality.
I hope some of that made sense.
