This is way too harsh. So they don't have a great plan. They have amazing goals and have said that Connection Theory (despite being all over the site) is not completely necessary to accomplish their goals. Why bash them here? Why not bash the millions of groups that have both a bad plan and bad goals?
Why add the word "magic" or mention "messianism"? Smells unfair to me.
Connection Theory is not the problem. It's the whole idea of saving the world with a psychological theory. That's what tipped my assessment from positive to negative.
Have you looked at the plan? Magic and messianic are not exaggerations.
