Artistic license is not the same as lying. I wouldn’t write a song that communicated an idea that I didn’t think was supported by rationality, but the purpose of the lyrics is not to communicate the idea accurately, it’s to communicate the emotion associated with that idea.
Insistence that all art meet Less Wrong standards for technical accuracy is not a meme that will successfully spread to the general population. And I do not think that’s a bad thing.
So what you’re saying is that you’re willing to lie to people to get them on board with your ideology!

I don’t think this is meant for people who don’t already believe in what it says anyway.
