- taeric 10y agoDo you actually have something actionable in this comment? I mean, at an actionable level, "healing-crystals" should be labeled factually as to their efficacy. And "prayer" should be encouraged as a way to keep you thinking about things you are not acting on. So, should we "do something about them?" I am not pushing for banning of any activities. I'm not even hiding behind "free speech" as a shield. I did misspeak, though. I do not necessarily want to discourage lying. What I do want to do is encourage truth. This is one of the reasons that "changed their minds" doesn't bother me. Everyone has likely been wrong about something in their life. Confronting that truth is not easy. And should be celebrated. Do I like being called out for having been wrong? No. Not even a little. It is a painful experience. Am I glad when it happens. Absolutely. I am a better person for it.
