627. Ludicrous And Irresponsible Propagation Of Woo-woo

I just got an email from one of the dating sites, where I have a profile. Some quotes:
"do you want to die alone?"
"We’re screwed. You should be too!"
"As we all know, the world is ending 12/21. Why not find someone to spend your last moments with? As things heat up and the earth’s crust begins to melt, here’s a high match that would welcome your embrace — before your hearts burst into ash. Hey, better safe than sorry."
People, who merely believe such nonsense, are pathetic fools. But when they create, enhance or reinforce other people's irrational anxieties, this is irresponsible.
Based upon the false belief of having no future, people could do lots of things, which they hitherto wisely avoided to prevent dire consequences.
Examples:
- Gambling and loosing all the savings.
- Risking unwanted pregnancies and STDs
- Telling the boss the true opinion about him and getting fired.
- Killing someone hated and finally indulging in a long repressed revenge.
- Indulging in the consumption of any food or substance, which damages their health or causes a relapse to an addiction
The easier it gets technically to spread the publicity of any claim and opinion, the more those people are dangerous, who carelessly multiply dangerous, weird and delusional beliefs. Unfortunately skepticism lacks behind the technical progress favoring the propagation and spreading of woo-woo.
