People who habitually project their own wiring onto their environment can benefit from a systematic approach to short-circuiting that projection. A lot of postmodernist traditions attempt to encourage such an approach, and when they succeed, they are beneficial.

That said, IME the study of cognition, evopsych, and other cultures achieves much the same benefit more cost-effectively.
