This is a consequence of engaging each other over what team we're on (right/left, etc), rather than engage with messy collections of individual ideas. But humans are hard-wired for tribalism, and hard-wires are the hardest to educate away. I'm not pining for a mystical past where all debate was intelligent and civil, but I do think the current landscape of media consumption technologies have thrown the worst aspects of our tribal habits into sharp relief. Instead, I pine for a future where behavioral incentives align with the needs of humans, rather than with economic metrics.
