I actually think we're probably already at the point where the marginal bit of anti-wokeness is on balance more bad than good.

(Not the same as wokeness being good, because anti-wokeness doesn't just fight wokeness, it also has many, IMO mostly bad, side effects)

reductionism is the driver of polarization 

multifaceted issues become binary choice

lore @optimism | ex: @coinbase | views are my own | what if it all worked out? 

And a killer of polarization is having to think about completely new questions.

It's a good way to realize that the people who you thought were 100% aligned with you actually have significant differences, and the people who you thought were 0% aligned with you have more in common with you than you imagined.

The antidote to polarisation is surely “curiosity”, the foundation of both empathy and new ideas.

Polarisation is a defensive act, and therefore never leads to more understanding or discovery 😔

Imagine if our societies fostered and uplifted the practice of curiosity 🌈
