I recommend the book ParaNORMALITY by Richard Wiseman which explains how astrology tricks you into seeing simplifying the world to patterns that are actually not true at all: https://www.amazon.com/Paranormality-Why-what-isnt-there/dp/...

Essentially if any of these powers were true, they could be reproduced in a scientific experiment and then reversed engineer on why they actually work. There is even a foundation with 1 million dollar price for whoever proves to have paranormal abilities. No-one has ever been able to prove scientifically to have paranormal power and won the prize for decades.
