The denial and disinterest in evidence production is strange. As an example, I see this with survey and polling data. If I cite a poll, I frequently hear "well, polls can say anything". Not, what is the survey methodology? --which would be a proper response. This comes up a lot in polling of Islamic populations in the West as to radical tendencies and opinions within those communities. Polls and surveys can be useful and there are scientific statistical standards that can be applied as to sample size and other criteria. It's kind of anti-science to just reject survey data outright.
This is clear: “The elevation of emotional safety over inquiry, emotional validation over confrontation, consensus over truth, empathy over rigour, and feeling over examination.” Emotional safety in schools, especially, trumps learning.
Perfectly said. Thank you
The age of narrative has eerily been contaminating personal relationships as well.
That’s an interesting point. Can you explain?
As a private person, i would be happy to connect about this offline. I do have quite an interesting and somewhat parallel story

Canada became like the Soviet Union.
Only uglier. Much uglier.
Wow! Makes sense.
