Agreed, though for most believing in irrational things is "fine" (in that it doesn't harm them) until someone shows up to take advantage of it (I'm guessing at least one person is using ai to make it look like they can perform holy miracles on Facebook).

    But isn't that harm them? maybe indirectly but restricting your world view will restrict your agency. i.e. people will take advantage of you.

  • Exactly, its fine until it isn't. Unfortunately most people don't seem to realize just because there beliefs work in the present doesn't mean they will continue to be beneficial in the future (e.g. a christian being recruited to work for free at the pastors business because "it is gods will")
