Real Critical Thinking

1. Unless I missed it, the rational made ignores the broken.

By that, I mean minds that don't think or CANNOT think logically. Their brains are damaged, whether that be by environmental, age or whatever other factors. It also does not factor in the neurological damage we all suffer from due to pollutants in our bodies. We're all 2 - 10 IQ points dumber than we would otherwise be if we didn't grow up breathing and eating substances with lead in them. Anyone who does not accept that fact, is probably broken.

So factor that into your observations. Do other people believe the way they do because their brains and therefore their entire world view is damaged? Probably more people than you think are affected. You're not going to break through to them, which is probably also why they are so hard to rationalize with. They're just broken. They're not zombies, but their IQs might make them about that easy to have discussions with.
