What about the healing powers of enjoying yourself with a hobby like collecting a bunch of minerals and just looking at them?

Surely, having a hobby can improve some people's mental health.

    That depends. Is your hobby overrun by charletans using your ignorant faith in easily disproven claims to sell false promises of a better life? Because not only is that detrimental to your mental and financial health, but it is bad for society as a whole as it erodes trust in science and knowledge itself.

    People who like shiny crystals decorating their homes aren't a problem. People who spend money they don't have on magic because government doctors are trying to put chips in your brain are a real and existential problem.
