Was a bit proud of this exchange. It addresses important things the Armchair Rationalist crowd misses about brain management IMO.

Context: we were talking about Figure 1, the "immunity dog" meme. Orange had called the meme "lawful evil," and someone responded with "If it saves some from subconsciously worrying... doesn't the end justify the means?" Orange didn't like that idea, and I (Blue) tried to explain to 'em why a "magic feather" needn't be "real" to be a positive thing.

This is an excellent point.

I really need to learn how to use this to hack my own brain.
