People act according to their natures. Owning your own nature is virtuous, but claiming to have chosen it is a falsehood. Too much performative ritual is based on the laundering of natural character into the illusion of causal choice.

It's pushing the false 'my feelings over your facts' into mainstream thinking. Towards the end of it they get to 1 of the main reasons - it's a guide for large numbers of political canvassers to target vulnerable people, who aren't even aware they're having this done to them.

It's doing something else I think: acknowledging a plurality of facts, but also that most are persuaded by feelings more than facts. IE, it's saying that the salience of specific facts to you says nothing of their salience to another person, and that salience is emotion driven.
