Ideology Impairs Sound Reasoning
My take on this is that people need to realize that they are not an exception to this.  _Everyone_ has an ideology that overrides logic for many topics.<p>I think the reason for this is that our brains just generally don't operate on a rational basis because it's not practical for humans.  We have to rely on preformed perspectives when it comes to certain broad perspectives.  Another reason is that it's almost necessary to adopt your group's perspectives in order to fit in socially.  Or at least it's unlikely you will have a different perspective if much of your information comes from one group.
