Didn’t know where to post this, so hopefully this is the right spot. Please boycott Brave. I’ve recently learned that not only is their CEO bad, but their fanbase is toxic, too. I will no longer be using Brave for that reason.

      That would be true if such “society” was ruled according to the scientific method. I agree with your premise, what I’m trying to point out is that those who actually make the calls can and will often act on emotions, and use the emotions of the population against it. They have no regard for our emotions being different. It’ s not “we” who try to separate emotions, it’s those we are in power of making that separation, and they separate not according to the scientific method but according to socio-economical interest.

        Or you can see it differently.

        Scientific methods showed that appealing to the general instead of the particular is more widely accepted as argument in our societies.

          What are “our” societies? I live in one dominated by fundamentalist Christians.

            Well I’m Belgian and the book in refer to is about France.

            I’m sure it can be generalised. But I don’t have any references.
