    What would you say are the most significant recent examples of the failure of our reasoning ability? From the left or the right.

        Are you really comparing consensual sex outside of marriage to sexual assault? I’ve had sex and I’m not married and, here’s the kicker, I’ve managed to not sexually assault anyone. It’s actually quite easy. These two things aren’t even remotely comparable https://twitter.com/jordanbpeterson/status/928981541849522176 …

        Personal experience suggests that the majority of sexual harassers & molesters are married men. Willing 2 bet stats will bear this out. https://twitter.com/observeaddict/status/929152658249789440 …

        the tendency to claim that one is "defending" the views of someone when one is merely correcting a factual error that misrepresents that person's point of view. it is always a problem when someone's views are misrepresented, regardless of how noble or ignoble they actually are.

        The increasingly-common ad hominem "you can't opine on abortion / race / gender / youth culture / poverty unless you're female / minority / nonconforming / young / poor." Seems most frequent wrt women's issues.

        The inability to see that a diversity of opinion is a good, necessary corrective to our blindness. Both sides. Rinse; repeat.

        From both sides we see a fundamental inability to grasp that some does not mean all. "Some men rape, so kill all men." "Islam is a harmful ideology, so ban all Muslims." etc...
