    This is a crazy take. Misinformation is not all of the sudden good when it has a positive outcome.

      It’s a pretty dumb trolly problem if you rather truth that hurts people than a fairy tale that actually helps people.

      What’s crazy is holding onto the ideal that you can get everyone on the same page, interpreting the same things the same way. Our entire civilization is build on a palace of lies we will never have truth for, so I find I don’t feel bothered if people take inspiration from someone who may or may not have existed.
