Word to the wise: People take to Facebook to have their outrage confirmed, not to have their mind changed. Deviate from the menu and you will have an experience akin to bringing kale chips to someone expecting deep fried cheese.

No one's keen on having their mind changed, anymore. Anywhere. To paraphrase my friend (kleinbl00), our culture has shifted towards extreme ego involvement with one's worldview. And if there's any shred of cultural Darwinism at play, the evolution of humanity will absolutely select against that culture. It's an incredibly unscientific and unsustainable mindset.
