You can say that people can experience positive benefits from following narratives which are not true. If evidenced, it is true that this happens. The narrative remains untrue. Perhaps someone is inspired by the bravery and honest of Harry Potter?

What in the scientific understand of disease would stop you from doing this? It seems the pragmatic wisdom would be setting the limit. Science would state there is truth to find.

Pragmatic, no, because pragmatic goals depend on what your end is. Science tells us what would happen if we did that. The likely effect on human life. Pragmatic ethics are fine as long as they are rooted in protecting all human life. What would ISIS' pragmatic goal look like?

Oooo that is a good distinction I need to make and didn't realize was specific to me. When I speak of pragmatic ideas it is pragmatic in the sense it moves towards human well being, and then you get into what we'll being is.
