The world is what it is regardless of anyone&#x27;s views. And there&#x27;s a difference between values and beliefs about the state of the world that are open to empirical investigation. If someone thinks the sun orbits around the earth, this is not a &quot;value&quot;. It is a hypothesis that can be investigated and refuted.<p>The question is: how do you react when the data contradicts your hypotheses? How do you react when it is shown that the arguments you base your views on are fallacious? The SJW position is to dismiss empiricism and rationality instead of changing their views.
