Emotion Vs Logic

Have you noticed, when someone posts a logical reason for supporting a policy, on social media, the conversation quickly turns from pros and cons to personal attacks?

What’s that all about?

Have you noticed, when anonymous posters can’t think of a logical rebuttal, they tend to verbally attack their opponent’s character? or sidetrack the discussion with an emotional outburst. How many of them would behave like that, in a face-to-face discussion?

Have you noticed most of our legislative representatives call for American unity, while they show little or no public respect for their colleagues across the aisle?

Have you noticed friends and neighbors express their beliefs and call it free speech; then deny you the right to do the same?

Have you noticed the throngs of people who have abandoned thinking, and sail through life, guided by feelings? Have you noticed how easily they can be controlled?
