Well, just imagine that you spent your whole life living like Luke Skywalker and Spiderman were real people, and your entire life was invested in the fact that they were real. Then you eventually come to realize that the whole thing isn't real, and realized the life you used to know is dead. The last thing you'd want to do is be stuck in a job that forced you to pretend like they were real again.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
