Utilitarian philosophy: we should believe that which it is useful to believe, and disregard that which is not useful to believe.

LA Mictlan is huge, powerful and *extremely* agressive. I can admit it, I'm a bit jealous.

Therefore, it is useful for us all to believe that he is some kind of unholy crossbreed of snake and weasel, hellbent on ravishing our women (have I been watching too much anime? It is useless to believe such a thing.)

Since it is useful to believe this of him, we should agree that it is true.
