Some people are sensitive enough, and some arent.

And there it is. I was going to comment on “hyper agency detection” or “confirmation bias”, but no need. This is the line that once crossed, it’s difficult to return. Once you decide that there is some special power that some people have and others don’t, you’ve given yourself a way out of any reasonable discussion. The problem is, you’ve also given anyone you want, maybe yourself, free reign to claim whatever they want. This is what every cult leader ever has exploited, all of the ones that failed that we don’t know about, all the way up to Mussolini and others like him. They don’t need to convince you of anything except this one thing, that some people are more ‘sensitive’. Sensitive is good right? You want to be more sensitive, don’t you? I’m sensitive, look, I helped this child in need. I have a five point plan for improving the world with sensitivity. But you know, not everyone will get, so we might need some weapons, and I’ll need some of your money, and, well, you know what comes next.
