I always joke that humans don't actually have a theory mind, since they seem to behave as if everyone sees the world exactly the same as them and are just being irrational. This is why hard core pro-lifers think that libs are "evil baby killers who just want to have irresponsible sex" (my local Christian radio station), and hard core pro-choicers think that conservatives don't actually care about children and it's just a proxy war on women's rights.

Folks don't recognize that it's a vague, complicated moral issue with multiple valid perspectives, all of which lead to different policies.

In this less extreme case, I come on here and see people claim that large portions of genz are lying to themselves, arguing that it's just "normal behavior" and the trends are just cuz identity politics and SDB, but "normal" isn't very meaningful here. As noted, the threshold for classification is vague and we live in a different regime of social pressure.

My point is its a complicated self identity problem with multiple valid perspectives. There are genuine cases where people deceive themselves, but we should avoid crying wolf and save them for, like, holocausts and stuff.

Thoughts? Bridging worldviews rn is important and worth my time.
