The post is very negative. If you take away from someone what you think of as false, don't run way without providing a better alternative. Even if that is just thinking for yourself and not to follow anybody.

I think we as a generation should feel lucky to be living when Experimental Psychology is blossoming. Books from authors like Daniel Kahneman, Dan Ariely, Daniel Gilbert have had a life changing impact on my thinking.
