Is it worth it to try to convince normies out of their pseudoscientific beliefs?(i.e. astrology, homeopathy, etc) Or will it just makes me look euphoric? Also is it worth to look euphoric in order to convince them?

I literally can't tell what im looking at.

>astrology
>homeopathy
Most people don't actually believe in them, they are either just a bit superstitious (astrology) and are actually using placebo effect

i wouldnt bother. most people aren't stupid enough to actually believe that shit, but if they are they're also too stupid to be reasoned with

On a large scale yes. A lot of these pseudoscience beliefs are drains on the economy with homeopathy being the most notable secular one compared to how easy it is to discredit.
>Is it worth it to try to convince normies out of their pseudoscientific beliefs?(i.e. astrology, homeopathy, etc)
For a lot of these the person is either retarded and their opinion isn't worth anything or they're not going to think you're euphoric about it (unless you're just unlikeable).
>Also is it worth to look euphoric in order to convince them?
Probably not. As mentioned before you're probably not going to get through to anyone who thinks that you're being euphoric.

You can't use placebo yourself without believing in it.
You can make other people believe in it but that's bullshit.

How is this draining the economy?

Did you get confused on your way to /pol/?
>>8531188
Yes, but you must take on the role of psychologist and listen to them and figure out why they take pseudoscientific beliefs seriously first and if it impacts their lives negatively.
