I am beginning to despair of my ability to communicate with anyone who doesn't already know what I am talking about and understand why it matters that we have evidence for what we claim to be true and can argue for it in a way that makes sense.

Humans are generally kind and reasonable when they are expected to appear as such in public. The Internet peels away the layer necessary to maintain ones integrity without affecting their daily lives.

I have a very nice bubble of friends on twitter that can do that. But let's be honest. The part of twitter, that's interested in politics, isn't really part of the crowd you're referring to.

yikes..no! Don't go down the path of cynicism, even though it seems rational. I've found that getting out into the real world with people helps bring me back to optimistic. Twitter, however, is indeed the black pill when it comes to believing in the human spirit.

I appreciate what you do Helen. And I find that you are remarkably patient. Being in the public eye is brutal these days. You might want to filter more idiots out of your life.

I think it's just the Internet. I believe abstraction of the Internet leads to many projecting a reactive avatar of their lesser or greater selves. I wouldn't get too glum about it. In person the people would be largely different and reasonable.

Sadly, they aren't. In my experience, more the exception than the rule.

With 16% of the people in the world being atheists, as one of them, I find hard to believe that people are using reason to conduct their lives and thoughts ("reasonable").

Humans are anything but kind and reasonable. They are tribal and emotional.

Eh, those are not mutually exclusive. Fortunately. :)

Yes of course. Goes without saying. Having a nice misanthropic morning over here.

They tend to not be kind toward Others and they tend to 'otherize' people as a defense mechanism for challenges to their deeply-held beliefs imo. I think I even do this to an extend despite actively trying not to.
