Something I worry about: is how any position that is not extreme will get invariably get “primaried” by those with more extreme positions in any online debate. 

They will attract more energy , easier to get social capital and also plays well to most online algorithms. 

Having the center get and hold energy seems an unsolved problem.

I think killing the algorithm fixes this but no one likes that idea

average person believes seed oils are totally healthy

I honestly think that’s fine lmao it’s the anti seed oil crew that’s the fringe mob at this point 

There’s not a lot of outcome data to support the anti seed oil thesis and a lot to learn there 

Very gray I give credence to that position

Shoplifting is good on the other hand…. Lmao

ok how about another one

74 million people in the US thought positively enough about Trump to vote for him in a presidential election 

a lot of normies in there

and there's a lot of normal people with Trump derangement syndrome, not just those who are extremely online

That’s not a bizarre position either!!! What’s bizarre is like for ex some subset of those ppl will say “women vote more often for dems so we should strip them of their right to vote to elect more R or libertarians” — that’s ridiculous but is an opinion gaining ground. Trump derangement syndrome also bizarre where these ppl act like Trump is Satan incarnate
