I do understand that those strategies have some effect.
I disagree that it means reason is moot, and the more shits that come out of the woodwork with doomerism the more effective it is so I have a question for you.
Why are you pushing that narrative as well?
What are you doing to change it other than point it out?
Half the country runs believing in Fox News, and our literacy is below the sixth grade level, well before reasoning is introduced to the curriculum. I consider myself a fairly logical person, and I see the idea of operating on reason-first (I phrase like this for clarity, as emotional-based choice is valid after processing after reasoning is established) virtually never followed, even when claimed. I have lost multiple jobs because of this exact problem. I am an advocate of it in all situations.
Outside of my bubble, I have watched universities purge philosophy, and all philosophy courses, from their systems. There’s a shift in the definition of True, with the “post-truth” movement. You can see how much reason influences the public with how they prosecute minorities, where bigotry is believed over decades of statistics.
Reasoning is non-existent here. Moot, no, reasoning is not of no practical importance, but it cannot be depended on here at this point.
