Blue or red pill?

[austinpop]

I just tuned into this thread. Very interesting!

 

Most heartening of all is the (mostly) civil and open dialog between the subjectivist and objectivst diasporas.

 

If only we could apply this to other red/blue areas of our society.

Sigh. I allowed myself to think this time it would be different. My mistake.

Don't waste your time any further. Step away from the keyboard, reward those finely tuned ears of yours with some fine music, and sip a nice single malt.

 

To paraphrase Heinlein: Never attempt to teach <an objectivist> to <listen subjectively>; it wastes your time and annoys the <objectivist>.

My key take-away from this experience is that the 'red pill' is way more bitter than I could ever have imagined, for those who are entrenched in their beliefs. No amount of evidence contrary to their beliefs seems to help.

 

 

Thanks for your summary in the first post, and for your patience and forbearance during the exercise.

 

Your conclusion is unfortunate, but certainly not surprising.
