The reference to Rawls's work is really spot-on. > The point is that a liberal pluralistic society needs to learn to accommodate people with different worldviews. A key part of that is getting people to understand that their own worldview is subjective, and that other worldviews are possible and acceptable. And, to state the obvious, this is specifically why the "outrage engagement economy" incentive models that drive almost all of our at-scale communications channels (Twitter, TikTok, YouTube, FoxNews) are inherently dangerous to that liberal pluralistic society. For all of the lip service that these players pay to values like, "civic discourse" and "the town square," they only exist by subdividing their users into "affinity groups," and then pushing them content that triggers maximum emotional response and affirmation of group identity. The platforms don't simply reinforce commitment to particular worldviews; over the last few decades, we have seen them create worldviews to increase user engagement and ad revenue.
