I suspect therapy methods work better the more you believe in and trust them. This means there's something harmful about studying how well therapy methods work and publicizing that information, which is that they can cause the methods to work less well.

Inspiration is actually healing; lack of inspiration may make the difference between a therapy method (or whatever else) making progress or not. That's not something I used to appreciate at all.

Above for "therapy method" one can also substitute "spiritual path." This stuff seems to get super complicated. Still pondering all this.

And it seems like you are talking about the usefulness of believing things (true or false). Were you intending to take the meta-rationalist stance as described in that meaningness screenshot?

Something like it. I agree with David that there's something iffy about the rationalist ontology around "truth" and "belief" and that a more meta-rationalist ontology has more room for good stuff.
