There's something related to this that I want to explore: Limits of rationality and human experience.
Rationalists break things down with logical tools to a point where they can get an answer - they zoom in to specific problems. This is good and useful. The problem comes when we zoom back out again, and try to generify the specific solution. The specific solution works in a certain context, but we haven't proven that it works in other contexts.
Then someone makes an authoritative statement about psychology or sociology or politics that makes sense in their context, but it ignores the human experience and history.
Everybody is made of their own details.
