Good article at Townhall by Mike Adams: Do You Feel Like We Do.
As America gives ground to post-modern relativism what seems to matter most is not the Truth, or the facts, but how you “feel.” And the stronger your feelings apparently the more legitimate your position. Hence the righteous indignation of the angry left.
The video below is a great example of what Adams is describing. Even though the students being interviewed agree that redistributing their GPA’s, to students with less ability, resources or motivation wouldn’t be right, they “feel” that redistributing wealth is OK. It’s as if the part of their brains that enables critical thinking has simply shriveled and died from lack of use. Amazing that these people are actually in college – an institute of higher learning?! But all they’re being taught is what to feel, not how to think. (What’s really frightening is that they seem so confident in their ignorance.)
As Adams sums up:
It’s really easy to sit around and talk about your feelings. It means never having to defend an idea on its own objective merits. It means our nation can continue to feel smarter while its collective mind continues to atrophy.
