Somehow I can say words and somehow it "means" something.
When you think about it a human is just a big gangly monkey. It's not so strange that we are suspicious about the prospect of hanging out with some random monkey you have never met before.

You should be advocating for proportional representation and abolishing the two party rule. That *should* be an easier thing to sell because it is in more people's interest.

Is this a good approximation?
Modernism: all things can be reduced to simple truths
Post modernism: all simple truths can be deconstructed and criticised
Meta modernism: everything is simultaneously a complex continuum and also approximately reducible to simple truths

Capitalism is our dominant system for coordinating effort because it scales well. But it has fatal imperfections.
Like externalities like pollution.
Any part of the effect of an effort that isn't directly being paid for will eventually be disregarded by a capitalist process.

This take is a bit too cynical regarding why this is happening.
It's not just happening because people are unwilling to make the necessary effort.
It's happening because much of the effort is only useful if it happens in coordination with the effort of others.
Coordination is hard.

If we can test things we have scientific truth.
If we can agree on things we have moral truth.
Building a coherent and universally agreed upon cosmology on this should be a matter of overcoming complexity.

How can we as a species that believe in things move past the breakdown of grand narratives?
This seems like an important question?
Is it really that hard to find respected philosophers that has good answers to this? Or is it just me?

Is the amount of social echo chambers becoming fewer? Are we all slowly merging into one continuous sphere of mutually influencing echo chambers? Is the polarization actually a symptom of the social shock - a sort of tunnel vision - coming from echo bubbles leaking into each other?

To be good you need to be able to separate the good from the bad.
The most powerful ability is to separate the almost objectively good from the almost objectively bad.
The most evil ability is to separate the subjectively good from the subjectively bad.

It causes us to focus on the worst of our enemies and our enemies to focus on the worst of us. And then there is no more room for anything else in the public discourse.

Occam's razor counterpoint: a simple explanation is often likely. But the existence of multiple plausible alternative explanations should make the simplest explanation relatively unlikely.
The more plausible alternative explanations there are the less likely any single one of them should be.

The reasonable take for me is that one side is obviously better than the other but having two options where one is okay-ish and the other catastrophic means that there has to be room to choose one and also fight for more options.
