The Fallacy of Relying Upon Lived Experience When Dealing with Societal Issues
Common sense would tell you that anecdotal evidence or lived experience is by far the most accurate form of information. These people lived it so how could it not be on point? Common sense would be, as it often is, dead wrong.
Anxiety is the thing that’s ripped our country apart. It has divided us, caused us to fear and hate those who think and live differently than us, and even caused us to hate those who only slightly disagree with us. It has led to panic and overreaction. And I worry that American Anxiety is only going to exacerbate the social and political divide in this country to the point that there is no coming back.
