Has it ever been otherwise? Everyone thinks they’ve done their due diligence and arrived at the correct conclusion. The people who disagree are obviously wrong.

  > Everyone thinks they’ve done their due diligence and arrived at the correct conclusion. I think this is too charitable. So many points of contention have both sides using morality as the justification for their position, and if they are on the side of "what is right" then there's no point even considering the words of the other side, because clearly the others are on the side of "wrong". This is, of course, not an entirely new phenomenon. What is different is that we can communicate more, and faster, than in the past- one might hope that would help us more readily understand each other, but the opposite is proving to be true.
