I know, I just think it is much like believing that fairies exist. Except that believing in fairies causes no harm to society. His beliefs did. > You could read the chapter yourself in 15 minutes.

- surgical_fire 1y agoYeah. You may have a point. Perhaps believing in fairies does cause harm to society.
- ch4s3 1y agoVery substantive. Thank you.
