Sure, practice whatever spiritually you'd like (as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else). I'm honestly glad it makes people happier overall. Please keep on doing it if you like it and it makes you happy (and doesn't hurt or ridicule anyone else or their beliefs).
Just don't bring science into it. So many of us have put so much time and effort into discovering how things work and why they happen. All more or less concrete evidence that can be debated, but is able to be observed and reproduced.
They're two totally different things. I just wish people would understand that.
For the record, I was raised religious. But since devoting so much of my life to science, I have very different views.
I'm not bringing science into it, I'm just tired of people using it as an excuse to discriminate against people who practice spirituality
Stamets looks to be discriminating against people whether they realise it or not, they get overly rude and defensive when people defend spiritual practices, and stamets appears to hold misinformed views about spiritual people and spiritual practices
I do admit my earlier comments responding to stamets where more emotionally fuled but that was because I hate seeing people discriminate against people who practice spiritual people like they think it's okay not to view them as equal and discriminate against them because they practice spirituality
I saw it happen for years on reddit and I guess that stored a lot of emotional fuel that needed to be let out
Spiritual beliefs aren't harmful, and aren't harmful to others
It's the antivaxers, medical health deniers, and bigots who falsely claim to be spiritual or use spirituality as an excuse to commit these activities that are harmful
