- moultano 10y agoMaybe, but I worry that we are now exposed to more memes than lived experiences, so their power to overcome reality is increased. People have extremely strong opinions about things they have no first hand exposure to. I worry that the increase in polarization is simply people having opinions about more things. If that's the cause, I don't see a way back.
