The title doesn't say be naive. Emotions can be an important tool in curing division and hate, as much as they can be misused to create it.

If you can only feel your own feelings you are definitely not feeling enough. Try to understand those you hate?
That said, I realize that is probably hopeless, but so is getting the same people to think.

#14I'd wager it's more like we don't think at all and feel only anger. At least online that is.
This is more indicative of where one chooses to spend most of their time online.
Let's not forget about the feed algoritms that will prioritize anger and only anger because this is what drives impressions.

Sounds like us-vs-them mentality to me honestly.

Let's not forget about the feed algoritms that will prioritize anger and only anger because this is what drives impressions.
That's still indicative of choosing to spend your time in an environment where content is algorithmically controlled.
Which is most of the mainstream ones, but following along with the mainstream is a choice.

#17I find it ironic that "We think too much and feel to little" appears to contradict the conclusion at the end "Let us fight for a world of reason, a world where science and progress will lead to all men’s happiness."

#18"Don't let your mind speak louder than your heart". In tech we value data and being right so much, we may be too often missing the important part of being a decent human being.
This could help balance Amazon’s leadership principles.

#20If you watch the news it should be clear that we feel too much and think too little. Everything is a rage fueled garbage contest.
