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.

a characteristic is extreme inflexibility because they are sure they are on the right side of history. they are at war with you because you are standing in their way. you can't negotiate with people at war with you unless you represent enough of a threat that compromise is less costly.
