I occasionally lurk these spaces to remind myself lots of people are prone to magical thinking. I figure the people there basically fall into four camps:

• Genuinely schizophrenic.
• “Spiritual gurus” who fancy themselves the next Buddha (overlaps with 1 but not always).
• People who are afraid of reincarnation who got sucked in by the subreddit. I feel for them as someone who is prone to fit into this category. When you hate this world and feel there’s something deeply wrong with it, this worldview can provide satisfying answers.
• Larpers, bots, and dicks. Basically anyone who just wants to egg the other people on.
