    It neatly demonstrates though, how forming a political opinion based on feelings rather than empiricism is not just deeply flawed but actually dangerous.

    Thomas Sowell has been pointing this out for decades.
    Yet at the same time it is obviously one step in human development. Otherwise it wouldn't actually happen.
    Questioning the way things are done is a deeply ingrained capitalist principle for innovation, is it not?
    The argument about how our nervous system just is that way was interesting, but you could also say our bodies didn't eevolve for over a billion years to sit in front of a computer all day and yet that is what many of the highest earners in our society do nowadays.
    At the very least it should be okay to think about and demand change even if you're wrong. Every entrepreneur will tell you that failure is an integral part of the process to innovation. Social systems shouldn't necessarily be excluded or we'd all still live under feudalism because that was the way God wanted it to be for thousands of years. Then again one could argue the more money trumps voting, the more we return to just that...
