The problem is, I don't really understand what your views are! And I'm not convinced you do either.

I've asked you often, and you move from point to point, talking about the "divided states" and the naivety of morality and the law, with no real point to what you're saying or suggestion of how a morality-free, lawless society could function, at any level.

So to answer your question, I don't think any structure can support, equally, a fact/data based view and a feelings/vibes based view.

For example, I don't think "stats are irrelevant." I think they're very important. I don't think it makes sense to talk about an entire country based on how you or I imagine people feel about San Francisco (again, data-free and overly narrow). I don't think the issue about women choosing the bear was about feminism but about women's well-documented frustrations with men.

We've also talked about this before, and again, you seem to feel as if the most "pragmatic" thing to do if a woman get's sexually assaulted is to blame the woman. There's no way to reconcile this view with mine. You seem simply incapable of taking women's problems or the problems of any group in an unequal society, seriously.

Of course, I understand that feelings will guide people's actions. Most people, sadly, won't look at the facts and form their opinions based on the evidence. And social media has been devastatingly effective at getting people to focus on distractions and outliers as if they reflect the whole of reality.

It's also led a bunch of people who are too dumb or too lazy (or lets be maximally generous and say they don't have time) to look up those facts, to believe that their feelings and a few half-remembered headlines are just as valid as knowledge/expertise. And the rare but still important occasions where experts have lied or misled has only deepened this belief.

So yes, simply put, I think facts and critical thinking and careful listening are really important. I think feelings, especially about large scale issues, are very often wrong and therefore always require some facts to back them up. And I think that you and many others, on the Left and the Right, put far too much faith in feelings without looking for those facts.

Skepticism is a good thing, if it's based on a genuine desire to understand the truth. But the version I see most often recently is just a blind distrust of a certain political perspective and a desire to see them proved wrong. It's not skepticism, it's just blind partisanship.
