Personally, I think it’s easier to be extreme than balanced. Like a see-saw (or teeter totter depending on where you are) it’s way easier to sit on one end or the other. To try to stand on the middle and balance is hard.
A friend of mine met Patrick Moore, former President of Greenpeace, and asked Moore why he started supporting nuclear power, he told him essentially “It’s easier to be against everything than to be for something.”
