I don't think we can reason with people in that position.
That does seem to be an emerging consensus.
But it fascinates me. Surely they have the neurological ability to engage in at least internal assessment of their beliefs? Or is it (as one person talking to me afterwards suggested) that somemost people simply don't have the cognitive ability? And if they don't, what does that mean for political theory, law etc?
