Having an opinion or idea doesn't make it correct or worthy of attention by other people.
If I come across someone who really thinks that way, they get dismissed and I lose 100% of any shred of respect I may have had for that person.
I don't care if that's considered closed minded, the mindset is wrong, fullstop, and it's obvious to anyone with a modicum of thinking skills.
The idea you've described here can be true sometimes depending on the subject matter, but it is not nearly true all the time, and if someone is unable to recognize that, then I cannot trust anything they say, and it's not worth the mental or emotional energy to engage them.

- braveo 10y agoI didn't mean to imply that you did, my point is that someone being being "an emotivist" isn't understandable, and it doesnt' mean the people around them should be inclusive of such an outlook on life.
