Facts colliding with emotion. Emotion seems to crush the ability to be rational for so many, much to our collective detriment.
Thank you
@neiltyson for showing that calmer heads can prevail. I'm sorry you've had so much of the irrationality redirected at you.
In the past 48hrs, the USA horrifically lost 34 people to mass shootings.
On average, across any 48hrs, we also lose…
500 to Medical errors
300 to the Flu
250 to Suicide
200 to Car Accidents
40 to Homicide via Handgun
Often our emotions respond more to spectacle than to data.
