Wow. Thank you!!! Fact-based analysis leads to evolution within groups, and growth of individuals (and thus humanity) as well. "The goal... is to make decisions with as little bias as possible, and... to come to conclusions not because others in our group agree or disagree, nor because the conclusion favors our group, but because our analysis of facts supports it." As we consider an issue, do we consider the (tribal) "box" we are in, and are we capable of "thinking outside the box?" You correctly point to the fear generated when we do so. Moving beyond that instinctive (unconscious?) fear is required. Let's try it! Growth can happen!
