Delusions make the human mind that more amazing

[FatAndFaithless]

Sorry man, combined with your last three threads (all of which were just quasi-nihilistic, vaguely-fatalistic word salads), this new one really just reminds me of child being upset with reality because it conflicts with their fantasy world. "Let me keep my delusions!"

Everyone has a vested interest in dispelling as many delusions as possible because everyone takes part in public society to some extent. And the fact that you interact in society at all makes me want to try and make sure that you hold as few bullshit beliefs and as many true beliefs as possible, if only for my sake. I don't want someone making a decision that affects others based on some crazy imaginary bullcrap.

First off, you would have no way of knowing for a fact if this innocent person's delusions would ever have negative consequences because any thought and such besides delusional beliefs (even scientific knowledge) might have negative consequences since science can be used for negative consequences. Since you would have no way of knowing, you should then admire and leave innocent people alone who have delusional fantasies just like you would admire and leave people who are scientists and atheists alone. But until this innocent person somehow decides to harm themselves and others and cause negative consequences (which might never happen), the happiness of these innocent people is the only thing that matters at this moment and not what others think of them and there would be no reason at all to tell them the truth of reality or try to convince them otherwise.

Nope, sorry dude, you don't get to equate people with identifiable delusions with scientists. And I'd like to live in a society that conducts itself and makes decisions using methods that are as close to realtiy as possible (since that's where we are). If someone has a delusion that informs their decision-making, and I would argue that most of our beliefs inform out actions in some way, I'm not going to wait until they do harm to themselves or someone else to speak up.
