Culture + Tribalism + Most internet forums reward the opposite (outrage, insults, lack of nuance)
We recognize we're fighting an uphill battle.
Here's why I'm hopeful: All across the web, I see people trying to have conversations. Really trying to engage. I think we just need better platforms. Twitter is good for some things, but it tends to lack nuance and amplify outrage. Reddit is good for other things, but it's noisy.
I may be delusional but I think there's room for another Internet community to emerge. One where nuance, civility, and substance are incentivized and rewarded.
