We eviscerate our interests by deigning to fawn on the disillusioned. They hold no genuine fascination for us, so let's not pretend any more. We need not indulge in a protective view of life. We have no reason at all to despair of reaching our zenith. It is perfectly possible that each of us can do that. We can stop worshipping the disillusioned - whatever other illusions we may have, surely we can see that they are not gods. 'Oh, but they channelled gods'. Yes, sure, but they are not doing it any more, are they? Leave them alone.
