Because you were on the giving or on the receiving end of it?
What would that change, in the grand scheme of things or in your personal life? Are there not enough kooks in AI already?
Agreed; personally I de-converted myself from orthodox judaism, but I still find it crazy when people write big scholarly books debunking the bible; it’s just useless a waste of energy (part of it is academic incentives).
They will waste their life (or spend it wisely, it’s a matter of perspective), but if you join the tug-of-war, you’ll waste a big chunk of yours as well.
I haven’t been involved in these situations, but taking a cue from drug addicts (who incidentally have high suicide rate) most of them do not recover, but maybe 10% do. So most of the time you’ll find frustration, but one in 10 you’d save a life, I am not sure if that’s worthless.
