RE: Emotions Often Win Over Reason, Feeling-Good Can Matter More than Facts
Yes, it seems that logic and fact resound as cold to most...heartless and devoid of soul; and so the philosopher toils alone, knowing that sophistry would convince more minds, but unable to compromise what they hold as true.
Yes, sophists are plenty, who use ppl's emotions to get them to accept a message, since the message is not always true, it's required to use emotional feel-good tactics to get it accepted. Thinking about the message as being true or not void of emotional affinity is less desired. It's like we don't care if something is false or not in truth, only so long as we want it to be true ;)
