Dang I wish I had refreshed the page before replying, because this is another perfect description for my last point. Have I called people Nazis, or told them that they disgust me? Everyone can agree that I have relied incessantly and interminably on dry, boring facts. This is not how fear works. Emotion does not assemble citations. Emotion produces epithets. Why am I not emotional about this? Because it's not sacred to me. It's just math. I respectfully submit that this is a more productive and reliable way of finding the truth.
