these days people have access to ~the same information sets as everyone else (thanks to the proliferation of the internet etc)
yet, people’s worldmodels are as polarized as ever, with pathological cases such as the one below no less common than before
those with the luxury to have lived a geographically varied life, or to have read across a variety of domains and chronologies, quickly intuit that this is because much of the variance between the emergent belief systems of humankind is driven not by a misinterpretation of available data or an objectively wrong turn in some set of syllogisms, but rather by those leaps of faith one makes inbetween these universally agreed upon factual premises to fill out the full thought-chain with “connective tissue”
these leaps of faith are consistently a function of the thinker’s aesthetic preference (they are leaps of faith because they are analytically intractable), which in turn is downstream of the thinker’s hormonal makeup and cultural context (the two of these are clearly collinear, so hard to study)
anyway, bottom line is that the reason this person thinks this way isn’t because he lacks analytical accuracy or the right points of data, but because he has different aesthetic preferences than you, which causes him to make different leaps of faith.
it follows that the most productive & faithful way to engage is to say: “leave San Francisco for a while, do X months of consistent physical exercise, and I think you will stop believing this”
those providing some thought chain or datapoint that goes contrary to his conclusion are simply missing the point of divergence
(nietzsche talks about this)
