    I suffer under the American dystopia. I’m familiar with how bad it is here. I like to burn incense on occasion for no other reason than enjoyment of the scent created. I’m fine with doing things for the sake of ‘feels good’. What I’m opposed to is the prevalence of falsehoods or indeterminable notions held to be true and from them actively harmful decisions being made. I don’t see a mechanism to effectively prevent that category of poor decisions from being made without addressing the root cause.

    Edit for Clarity: Was just thinking about my comment and felt I should add to clarify that I in no way mean to say taking the nonscientific services away from anyone. I mean to say shut down the advocacy for unsupported, and occasionally quite dangerous, assertions that these can do anything more than what they demonstrably do. My ire is directed entirely at advocates and practitioners who act on or spread misinformation.
