I think this might be it. Currently dealing with (but now ignoring) someone who claims one cannot consistently support nondiscrimination by gender, race & sexuality AND evidence based epistemology coz of evidence that we can't treat men & women the same re: reproductive health.https://twitter.com/ArthurCDent/status/1053772614823424000 …

I do think a lot of whether you are likely to have a brain which requires things to work logically in demonstrable steps or whether you are fulfilled by ambiguous & fluffy allusive thinking with loose connections comes down to personality type. Which is discouraging.

It means we can't teach the fluffy thinkers to find logical reasoning and evidence-based epistemology satisfying and they cannot teach us to value spiritual/affective/mythical/metaphysical notions of truth. We just have to glare at each other and mutter darkly.

Of course, many people manage to do both. I see this most strongly in some believing Jewish friends whose working lives require strong skills of analytical reasoning but then they take a hiatus at least once a week to be all spiritual and fluffy. Tut on them. "Tut," I say.

I feel like my religious upbringing, liberal as it was, exaggerated my OCD. I'm sure there is a biological explanation too but my first ever memory of OCD was having a "bad thought" that went against my religion and the need to balance it. Sometimes the need for order is draining
