@JohnPhilpin I heard a podcast recently and one guy said "did you actually talk to those people or did you just read about it?" and the other guy said "oh yeah, I just read about it. Maybe I should talk to them". I guess the whole Internet is like that. Lots of strong opinions, uninformed by face-to-face discussion. From my vantage point on the Pacific rim I see an increasingly polarized society in the US. But maybe that's just the media version. Anyway, I'm keen on less polarization, aided by real conversations. Not sure the Internet is the true home of those kinds of interaction! Micro.blog though: a small but valuable exception.
