You are bootstrapping your understanding of society on that assumption itself and thus begging the question.
Do you actually get out and talk to people? Most people are ok with nuance. Most things we consume as entertainment, from lowbrow housewives of Atlanta to highbrow pbs space time are full of dizzying nuance and unknowable truths (but not star trek. Star trek no longer has nuance).
- PaulDavisThe1st 5y agoWe're fine with nuance in entertainment, in romance, in food, in professional team sports, in many things. I would dispute that the same level of comfort extends to "when elected (or not) leaders tell us what we should do."
- dnautics 5y ago> I would dispute Why? Because it makes you feel good to think everyone else is dumber than you?
