Yes, it would help people who are trapped in that kind of thinking, to learn to think for themselves, not what they might have heard in the past from other closed-minded people or 'scientific reports' etc, and to observe, finding their own conclusions from quiet open minded observation. That's how I learned. If we let our conditioned thoughts go, and be quiet, animals will show us quite interesting things.
It's amazing how many people who consider themselves rational or sceptical, or 'not sentimental', haven't yet learned to think for themselves.
