I know that the first place to start is with myself. Itβs not good enough to blame the media, itβs important to recognize how Iβm triggered by listening to polar opposite views, and for me to hear other perspectives without getting too hung up on how those perspectives differ from mine. I need to look for nuance, and recognize that there can be middle ground that becomes the starting point for good discussion and discourse.
David, I highly recommend
C. Thi Nguyen’s discussion of the way in which Twitter eliminates difference and nuance by design.
