I - do not get this one.
Carnap’s statement is false, humans find all sorts of non-verifiable beliefs and experiences cognitively meaningful. Dreams, religions, ancestor worship, coincidences, hypothesises, potentials, the future, stories…
Carnap is falling into the fallacy of scientism, in neglect of anthropology, sociology, fiction writing, and any number of other humanities subjects and activities.
Humanity being interested in unknowns and unverifiable understandings and forms of belief is vital to having a broad human experience which is vital to having a good life, and a good understanding of humanity.
We are not a solely rational species.

“Honestly, you are lying right now for real”
A hater gets caught lackin’ in the crib and you think that’s my vibe
“Someone who doesn’t like me gets caught without enough to defend themselves in the house, and you think that’s what I’m about/like”
Deadass, I’m bussin’.
“…in all seriousness, I’m great/fantastic/amazing.”
I think specifically “new age” here is referring to water-divenation, this is where some person claiming to be able to detect water gets a divining rod, which is often just two sticks and claims the sticks can show them where to dig a well and hit water (you can look up videos of it on YouTube). They often walk on strange paths, or stagger around and around fields in this process.
So I guess these guys are doing something similar with construction related tasks.
EDIT: I’ve seen it suggested elsewhere that Gary Larson was particularly annoyed with New Age music, and found it repetitive:
Technically every 30 metres there should be a 1 second time zone adjustment.
Secret camps with abuses during a racially motivated genocide - remember Israel’s unofficial motto: “Never again to us…” - but they’re seemingly okay doing it to others.
Woke feminist marxist time travellers strike again!
Technical the Chicken should be carrying a clump of period cells - that’s what Chicken eggs are: Chicken periods.
Eggs don’t have to be fertilized to be eggs. But they do to become chicks… Just like human periods have to be fertilized to become babies.
So the chicken is wrong for taking a baby, that’s not the equivalent to an unfertilized egg… A period is.
Trofim Lysenko killed the most people under Communism, through famine. Most of the deaths under communism have been due to famines and misconceptions about farming.
…and more were killed by Capitalism in the Belgian Congo and by The British East India company alone. Both of which were run as Capitalist ventures.
