Thomas Sowell
The quest for social justice is a powerful crusade of our time, with an appeal to many different people, for many different reasons. But those who use the same words do not always present the same meanings. Clarifying those meanings is the first step toward finding out what we agree on and disagree on. From there, it is largely a question of what the facts are. Social Justice Fallacies reveals how many things that are thought to be true simply cannot stand up to documented facts, which are often the opposite of what is widely believed.
However attractive the social justice vision, the crucial question is whether the social justice agenda will get us to the fulfillment of that vision. History shows that the social justice agenda has often led in the opposite direction, sometimes with catastrophic consequences.
More things are involved besides simply mistakes. All human beings are fallible, and social justice advocates may not necessarily make any more mistakes than others. But crusaders with an utter certainty about their mission are often undeterred by obstacles, evidence or even fatal dangers. That is where much of the Western world is today. The question is whether we will continue on heedlessly, past the point of no return.

Trust me, I’m a big fan of facts, however the hegemony of the left brain over right brain concepts of empathy they bear the the rationalist quip “facts don’t care about your feelings”
Ultimately, the parable of the good Samaritan stands in contrast to payday lending which he defends as a function of rational self interested capitalism whose lenders offer a service to a population, who otherwise do not have access to money.
If Thomas were drowning, what rational person would either throw him a life preserver or jump to save him?
