@ianburnette @ZachWeinersmith Vsauce had a great piece on the limits of logic. We use "logic" to justify an intuited position and to convince others of that position. We construct our logical arguments to attempt to sway our intended audience or to match our self identified beliefs.

We create compassionate arguments because we want to be seen as compassionate even when our actions are the opposite.

@ZachWeinersmith at the risk of sounding like the people who talk about "content slaves of the South"; most immigrant workers are thankful to have positions in agriculture, food service, hospitality, etc. Doesn't mean they don't deserve better working conditions etc. but the fact that immigrants are exploited are arguments against exploitation, not immigration.

I know I'm preaching to the choir.
