I'm curious what people think before attempting to post on material that I know is important but it is also complex, big and not going to be easily digestible. Especially not by those who are polarized already and think that they have their finger on the target.
And I include myself in the polarization camp. The only difference is that over the decades I have been fortunate enough to pull back for a second look when I suspect a reexamination is due.
It is like the old onion argument. You get through some layers, think you are at the core only to later figure out that well shit, bunch of more layers to go.
Probably has to be figured out on a case by case basis but I'm sure there are people who have a stockpile of tactics to pick from after they size a person up. I think that most of the time it is the individual who notices that some ideas or data is in conflict and they start of the process of sorting that out which is basically the red pill or truth seeking process.
