For those who don't have the time like I didn't
Organite is a substance made of resin metals and quartz that balances and harmonizes Bio-energy (known as orgone). Orgone is analogous to chi or prana and is a type of bio-energy that reverses the effect of entropy[0] It seems to be a mix of crystal healing and EMF grounding (also known as earthing)
It can:
- Neutralizes emf radiation.
- Clears negative energy.
- Aids in meditation.
- Supports restful sleep.
- Enhances lucid dreaming.
- Relieves stress.
- Purifies the living area.
- Can detoxify water.
It is, of course, completely bogus.[0]If your theory is found to be against the second law of theromodynamics, I give you no hope; there is nothing for it but to collapse in deepest humiliation. - Arthur Eddington
So sure are you, hmmm??

You should research Wilhelm Reich[1], a student of Freud's who came up with the term "orgone", who fled to the US to escape the Nazis only to have his writings confiscated and burnt by the US government, which imprisoned him until he died.
True? He died a year in to a two year sentence for violating an injunction against him from committing fraud by selling his orgone accumulators.
I think this is underappreciated ethical dilemma, rather like Typhoid Mary. I don't think that Wilhelm Reich thought of himself as a quack, or a fraud - he was more of a kind of technological mystic. While he himself was doubtless earnest, this kind of thing really is memetically dangerous - Scientology, for example, is a deliberate and successful attempt to weaponize it. Even now, people do crazy things like "seed" areas with "orgonite" to dispel "negative energy" - that is, they litter the ground with bits of metal encased with resin. A whole religion of woo, just from a few years of exposure to Reich's ideas.
So what is one to do with someone who is earnestly good-intentioned, highly charismatic, and completely stark-raving mad?
Ignore them as you should any other crackpot, charlatan or fraud. Don't waste your energy, time or money on them except to be entertained.
