And yet people do come together on issues and get things done. It is my view that intention does not color the results. That means that coffee made by someone who loves you tastes the same as coffee made the exact same way by someone who hates you. However, what if the person who loves you takes special care and attention, and the person who hates you actively does it wrong? They will taste different, but it's not because of their intention, not directly, it's because of the different processes. People of differing views can and should be encouraged to come together to get things done which are in both their interests. Practically speaking I think this can be done by forming groups which have expiration dates. The biggest issue with the success of a group is losing their way pretty quickly after achieve a goal and feeling compelled to stay together to build on that. That's a huge political mistake.

I think you pretty much reiterated the point I was trying to make.

Dang, so I did. What happened was I wrote this in response to your first few paragraphs and neglected to read the last few, in which you make my conclusion point, which is the same as yours. Embarrassing! 😳 I do generally read everything but I was speed reading that day. My first point is not what you said though. It is explicitly in argument with the "presuppositionalist" perspective.
