In this particular instance, I am speaking about Trump's words and the history and context behind them, however this discussion is about your worldview more than any one example. You refuse to use your brain to interpret the information before you beyond face value. As such, you are utterly incapable of making reasoned judgements unless someone directly states something as would be seen in a children's book. Unless someone is rubbing their hands together, cackling and yelling "I am evil", you will refuse to make any negative judgements. This is called ignorance. In a court of law, a jury is assigned the task of fact finder. They are to receive the information that is presented and make a reasoned decision stemming from that information. More often than not, the jury is not presented a confession from the defendant, or video evidence showing clearly that they are the criminal. They are presented with pieces of evidence, often circumstantial, which are used to construct a conclusion. Without the fundamental principle of reasoned inference, all ability to draw conclusions would crumble to nothingness. It is not irrational or overzealous to draw conclusions from available information despite the absence of a cartoonish caricature, it is foundational to logic itself. As stated earlier, if going to these lengths to utterly abandon logic is what is required to justify Trump's words and actions, that is perhaps the greatest condemnation of all. |
Call me a juror who is not convinced by the current, scant amounts of evidence presented to him.
