>emotional discomfort with various inequities & inequalities you say it like thats a bad thing

• appreciatorBus 10mo ago
  Not at all. Feeling emotional discomfort with inequities and inequalities is a common human trait, probably nearly universal. But there’s no reason to suspect that that discomfort is a good guide toward solutions that help more than harm. That sort of facile engagement with the problem is what gives us disastrous ideologies like communism.

    Potential confusion of valid moral arguments with emotional arguments, though. I mean, one might conceptually bundle together practicality, pragmatism, and logic, and then say that caring about anything or having any principles or values is emotional and illogical. (This also gives us disastrous ideologies like communism, and may also be used to force favorite ideas because they're "scientific".)
