Suppose that you know something that will help improve peoples lives, but its a pretty mundane and "obvious" idea that is hard to get people excited about. Suppose that you dress up this idea with some quantum mechanics and magical thinking and it gets more people to actually start applying the boring mundane idea to their lives.
Would it really be better if the author wrote a strictly rational text that would only help a fraction of the potential audience?
Would it be better if they taught teens to use condoms or else their cock will drop off during sex?
No. Its a good idea to use condoms, but if you believe it for the wrong reasons, that either going to lead to you realizing its bullshit (and then the real reason to use condoms is lost to you), or it will have you blindly believing any old bullshit without critically processing it.
Ends don't justify the means. Lying to people doesn't justify whatever you think it will achieve. If they can't handle the truth, fuck them.
This is the same kind of bullshit mentality that gets people saying that they're glad idiots buy into the bible, because heaven. hell, and god dictated morality is the only thing stopping them from going round killing people.
Except when god says its okay to kill certain people. Then shit hits the fan.
its also hella patronizing to believe that there are certain people who are too dumb to recognize useful truths without them being dressed up in fantasy.
