Right up until a few minutes ago, I was talking about the same thing with some friends.
When, however, come into play the contrast between scientific, documented, and the value of thought, it is difficult to find a universally accepted answer.
I think your question reflects the characteristics of encouraging a discussion rather than a solution.
Best wishes and success in life!
