Agreed. The issue I see is that the internet has allowed everyone to more directly participate in public discourse, and that sadly hasn’t scaled as well as we would have hoped. It’s hard having nuanced, constructive discussions with strangers online. Social networks aren’t incentivized for it, and our monkey brains aren’t wired for it. I do think that allowing people to be wrong works better than beating people over the head—assuming the person making the argument is actually interested in having a discussion versus simply digging their heels—but I don’t know where this type of discourse is supposed to happen in today’s world.
