When sane, rational people don't write books about spiritual inquiry or speak about it, the floor is given people who promote incoherent pseudoscientific pseudospiritual technobabble. Their technobabble sounds just scientific enough so lay people have a hard time distinguishing between the quacks and real scientists. People like [Deepak Chopra](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deepak_Chopra) who promote alternative medicine and make proven false claims such as "you can tell your body not to age" cannot continue to represent the spiritual movement. -## Myself And an Unnamed Youtuber +## Myself And an Unnamed YouTuber That's part of why I'm writing this entry.

It's very hard to explain it in such a way that people won't horribly misunderstand you. -- cgit v1.2.3
