“The social intuitionist model offers an explanation of why moral and political arguments are so frustrating: because moral reasons are the tail wagged by the intuitive dog. A dogâ€™s tail wags to communicate. You canâ€™t make a dog happy by forcibly wagging its tail. And you canâ€™t change peopleâ€™s minds by utterly refuting their arguments.”
