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
