Is there a grand realization i'm missing in the observation that all people's belief systems are composed of data points that lead to those beliefs? This seems tautologically true to me, and mostly irrelevant.

"Data points"

That feels like a charitable euphemism but I suppose it is literally true in a way.

My point was simply: "We can tell when you're preaching."

I think HN functions well when it talks about topics where the community is roughly on the same side.
