Are you familiar with the Overton window? According to it, you will never see successful extremes because what is considered extreme changes before the world does. I think you can find plenty of examples of historical extremism that is now normal (and "healthy").
- oliveshell 4y agoMy use of the word "extremism" may have been slightly misleading; by "extremes" above, I don't mean "ideas or movements popularly considered extreme", but rather literal extremes in the space of possible solutions to a given problem.
