Whether or not feelings should be included as proof for something depends a whole lot on: are the feelings of this person relevant to the argument at hand. 1.

1. Global warming is not untrue because someone feels a certain way about it.
2. I might have offended someone based on how they feel. Or a system might be oppressive based on how someone feels
That's as far as I'm willing to let feelings serve as proof anyhow.
- mistermann 8y agoThis can get tricky though, and there's lots of "feelings" all over the place these days. There are a lot of somewhat vague "truths", some necessarily so, that have become largely considered as all encompassing, final, beyond debate truths, even though they may not necessarily be so. This seems a bit problematic to me.
