I have noticed how I was betrayed by my own reason on a few occasions and how the “less thinking” people had a point, though perhaps not so perfectly articulated.

This book shows why that is so and why supposedly rational and probably well meant attempts to correct the world often go dangerously wrong. Think social programs, gender and racial issues etc.

Even if you instinctively disagree upfront, you should still read it and consider the arguments.

At times a bit too long, but otherwise well written.
