samohTmaS , 2 months ago Swedish @GhostOnTheHalfShell @thelovebing @Alexlee @academicchatter I am not suggesting an either/or proposition, nor that "our" side, whatever that is - is right and valiant ... That is tribalism. What I am suggesting is that even within our own minds that we cannot successful use logic to persuade emotion, or emotion to persuade logic. To the degree we are dominated by one mode, we are inhibited from successfully communicating in the other. And trying to do that is largely futile anywy.
