Yes to the intent, but also a yes to Stephen Yearwood's response. Myths and imaginary beings are great motivators, (God is the marketing department for town meetings) but in Nature's greater power, the long term persistence of any species is anchored to what it does in/to its place. If myths don't succeed at hard usefulness first, then all of the romantic visions and hopes are moot luxuries. If we don't realize when the marketing is to our detriment, then our species and intention is only an insane temporary anomaly. Truth and beauty can only persist if the beholder does. That's why so many religious "wisdom" comes with an expiration date: to pressure people into forgetting to question imaginary prophets' profiteering.

The angst that feeds a desire for imaginary meaning/conspiracies often comes first from a systemized sense of uselessness to our places, those places being literal and figurative empty boxes with a mortgage on our souls and a view of other boxes.
