      Oof, strange that this site didn’t appear when I searched “great Sorting theory” with quotes. I know the quality of Google has gone downhill, but that’s a miss.

      Also, noting that brownstone is rated as having poorly checked facts, leans far right, and libertarian policy before I go in.

      Having skimmed the article, I see that the great Sorting theory states that COVID denialists are victims of government trod on by rules intended to keep the hospitals from overflowing.

      I see stated in the article that when we make large matters of policy, we should consider our feelings over reason and science, comparing lockdown to the atrocities of Nazi Germany and stalinist Russia.

      My reply is that all decisions should be well educated and be both logically reasoned and ethically sound. Telling people that decisions should be made emotionally and that Nazis use reason sounds like emotional manipulation.

          Are you mot going to respond the commenters points? He went to the trouble of reading the article, and you’ve complained that you can’t discuss this because people won’t listen to what’s being said. So here’s your chance.

            Probalby not, as you can see from first post he doesn’t like video in which the original idea is contained, so discussion about the snippet or extract from it seems not very interesting. The Great Sorting idea was discussed in the video, if he will be able to listen to the people voice for 5 minutes, understand the information and idea, then there will be hope to dicuss it with him. Otherwise the link to article and his comment is enough for normal Internet discussion this days.
