polarisation

why don't we treat aesthetic choices as matters of fact? like, there are certain bands and artists that I just don't like. I don't think their music is good. but it doesn't bother me if other people do like them, as much as it bothers me when I think someone is wrong about factual matters

we feel a sense of outrage when we think someone is wrong about matters of fact or real world-issues \\\ we wonder, how can they think that? 

no one wins arguments that are truly contentious because both parties to the argument are totally focused on convincing the other person they are wrong....and that's never gona happen
