Did you ever consider doing something that's actually beneficial for the world, like donating most of your salary to an efficient charity?

Fun fact: Back when homeopathy was conceived, it wasn't completely idiotic. There are a few cases where a very diluted, weak amount of something that causes symptoms can be used to cure (or, especially, prevent) certain diseases.

We call these things "vaccines", something that, oddly, quacks constantly rail against.
