So the quote sits in this odd place where its true, it makes sense, it feels good to read and say and believe, and yet it is dangerous to live by.

Looks like you have identified a certain dangerous class of anti-memes - esp. for rationalists. Could call it a rationalists trap. Related to nerd-sniping.
