Indeed it was :) Although for what it's worth, the Aeon piece has also changed my own thinking quite a bit, even as one of those progressive bogeymen with blue hair and pronouns. (Okay, no blue hair, but still.) I sometimes find myself falling into kneejerk patterns of "Ugh, I was fine with X, but Y takes things too far..." in situations where it's totally unfair of me to think that way, and often notice my progressive peers doing the same. Everyone is susceptible to cognitive bias!
