That's all good and right but how is it actionable? Do we stop judging stuff as being undesirable and just accept everything?

I thought about this subject quite a bit and there's really no way around conflicts. You just have to have them and try to win them. The party that is the furthest away from reality will lose eventually. Warning: the _realistic_ party will win, not the right party, the good party, the moral party, etc. You also need to accept this.

Or you can put on the pacifist hat and basically accept you're going to lose every time. History is full of conflicts and only conflicts changed the world. Be them military, artistic, ideological, philosophical or whatever. If you can't survive the contact with the opposing side think what reality will do to you.
