When it comes to the ‘reasonable’ part - that works both ways, too.

Everything is Bayesian: Everything has upper- + lower-bounds.

I’d wager that blindness to range-maxes (and mins) contributes to many slippery slope arguments.

ie: It’s not only openness.

Folks less comfortable exploring boundaries see the lack of an ‘upper bound’ on logic as ‘unreasonable’, because it’s shortsighted.

‘Shortsighted’ - insomuch as the full context is either not considered or part of the argument.

And maybe this should probably be expected, too.

Those comfortable with exploration are perhaps more likely to throw caution to the wind, so to speak.

I think this just goes to show that depth of nuance is ultimately important, and that patience + ability to accept uncomfortable situations for long enough to have a true grasp on understanding .. is key to societal progress.

The habit of micro aggression betrays our critical faculties.

In the modern world, this fuels #escapeism + overly-consumptive behaviors that feed ‘the drip’.

Right + Wrong are replaced by Happy + Sad.

For the record, I support nuclear fully and still have some skepticism about the amount it can generate. Only so much Uranium. One day we'll get it right and have a Dyson sphere powering Earth and Mars!

Defensive ideology is often huddled behind the angry chips on shoulders from reacting to existential threats.

Physical touch plays an important role, too. Without it, we lose sight of how much stress we hold in our bodies; negative nerve feedback.
