I'd argue that essentially no writing on social issues is really sound. We don't understand humanity in aggregate (or even in singularity) or what underpins us

I'd argue that essentially no writing on social issues is really sound. We don't understand humanity in aggregate (or even in singularity) or what underpins us well enough. Scientific studies on these topics are generally limited and biased with true randomization being essentially impossible. It's all based on hand chosen axioms on humanity that are picked to aid the author's statement rather than being derived from any objective truth. edit: As such you're essentially reading religious preaching and we are all capable of being converted to a religion. So it makes sense to check ahead of time that you're not getting converted into a violent cult.
