Seeing good friends polarized by this thread. Which...is awesome. Interesting disagreements about ideas rock. I, for once, have no opinion. Or, rather, have both? Too much rationalism is bad. Too little is also bad. I'm a rationalist centrist. ...As Rush argued for in Hemisphereshttps://twitter.com/simonsarris/status/1189003057637609486 …

My view, now I'm not at gym: * In general, society is insufficiently rational * There are a small number of people who go too far that Simon is probably overexposed to * It is not the cause of death of dreams * It can take into account feelings as inputs

* As a whole I'd say society is still pretty heavily story driven, but it tells itself stories that are unsatisfying to people who complain about this on Twitter.

My hunch is you might characterize our disagreement as we need better technology vs we need better stories not that stories arent a technology

I actually don't think that's the core of it. I think people need better stories and ALSO those stories need to contain better answers reached through coldly precise rational evaluations. Feelings are an input, and an output, to be controlled and tweaked.
