lotta assertion in that tweet. glad things are so simple and that we are so handily able to dispense with reason in light of motives.

who wants to mindlessly shuffle piles of conflicting facts back and forth?

Most normal ppl control their behavior. I find it hard to believe pedro physically "can't".

I stop myself from harming people all the time.

Reason and the ability to detatch from the sensations we feel at will are what separates us from most if not all commonly known species. If a person cannot do this then they are defective.

Of course it is. Just because someone has a "natural" tendency/proclivity/disposition to perform reprehensible acts does not mean that theres an onus placed upon the rest of the world to embrace and accept their depravity.

Acceptance, after all, is "just a social construction".

Moreover, all depravities can be reduced to being "natural". One can have a "natural" proclivity for violence and sociopathy that leads them toward being a serial killer that masturbates with the entrails of their (mind the pronouns) victims. Is it all of a sudden society's responsibility to accept, embrace, and glorify this persons "naturality"?

You just told 3 separate lies.

also, Irulan is spot on. the fact that most of us struggle to divest emotion from reason is hardly supportive of the tweeter's implication that all modes of thought are somehow equally valid.

Today's progressives are attempting to elevate "lived experience" to same level of importance as rationality, and objective reality.

What this means, is that theyre attempting to equate "perception" with "reality" and in a lot of ways are attempting to elevate "perceived reality" above objective reality entirely, on the grounds that there is no such thing as "objective reality", at all.

Im an idealist, theologically speaking, and even i have to admit that while reality is just a dream, its a goddamn persistent one.
