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.

You’re right to be worried. Navigating the web and especially social networks I noticed a trend where people voluntarily start “dumb” discussions on positions that in a normal world would not find any kind of attention. I’m worried too.

There are many discussions I would cross the street if I saw someone shouting, but it’s normalized online. Promoted even.
