We discuss the complex landscape of modern discourse, emphasising the shift towards prioritising feelings over objective reality. This shift has led to heightened division and animosity within society. The promotion of resentment and disunity among minority groups, fueled by a focus on subjective feelings, has alienated moderates and heightened societal tensions.

- Why is the promotion of feelings over facts so dangerous to society?
- Should democracy allow people to “offensive” opinions?
