Differences in axiomatic systems
When two people have a sufficiently logic-like disagreement A person with a background in mathematics or philosophy (or in the case of philosophy, especially a person with a background in theism and relativization of correctness) can tolerate axioms that differ from his or her own axiomatic system as a separate system. The choice of base axioms is different, but they both utilize the same logical thinking skills, which makes it easier to emulate. #emulate axiom
The real world is fundamentally complex, but humans are incapable of thinking in its complexity, so approximations are made, and the method of approximation
Consideration for the emotions of others
is necessary
Some people might be offended if I do X."
Being offended is a cost, and if it can be foreseen, it should be avoided."
Unnecessary
You shouldn't care if others are offended by your doing X, because it's agnostic and out of your control."
It is not rational to speculate about the agnostic and the cost of avoiding it.
Whether or not human beings are of equal value.
Equal-opportunity group
Non-equal group
Even if someone says "equality" in a pretty way, it is just talk if it is not accompanied by actual actions to equalize the value of "oneself and underprivileged children in distant countries". If you insist on equality, you should distribute all of your income, except for the minimum amount necessary for your own survival, to ensure the survival rights of underprivileged children in developing countries.
Whether or not to assume equal human intelligence.
Equal-opportunity group
Although there are innate differences, they are negligible compared to the effects of subsequent learning.
Even those who are stupid now can improve as much as others by properly motivating and learning.
Non-equal group
It is possible that people who are stupid now will improve in the future, but it is within the margin of error and can be ignored.
Rather than devote our efforts to raising the level of the stupid, we should spend our efforts on raising the level of the smart even higher!
Homogeneous: All people are about the same
Non-homogeneous group
People who live in neighborhood X tend to be Y."
Often criticized as stereotypically discriminatory thinking
However, the approximation by stereotyping allows for a brain simulation that assumes a set of people with different properties.
This is true because it has practical benefits and is useful from a pragmatism point of view. ---
