Fears

Speculating on irrational fears(since after all the simple power of consensus must logically make the most common irrational fears the least obvious), and I'm thinking divestment from your problems might be a bigger one than it's credited as. Part of the standard banter of human speech is discrediting the concerns of others, after all, suggesting their value systems to be founded upon relatively uninformed or simple models of reality. We do this ruthlessly enough, and yet the sort of contest going on here is exactly the sort at play when someone challenges your racial- or gender-identity. A value or moral system is fundamental to an identity, after all.
