The author says we should look for: “Controlled Environments - Save serious discussions for spaces designed for learning rather than engagement. Book clubs, study groups, and moderated forums can create conditions for genuine discourse.” I find the constant, gentle moderation here at hn encourages the better angels of our nature. I learn something new from all you fine people everyday. Thanks for your cumulative effort.

Thanks, Dang et al. It’s such a massive effort.

And thanks to all those who have responsibly resisted the urge to x. It’s not easy!

Indeed. It always saddens me how childish and tribal we become when some subjects are mentioned. It can't be impossible for the smart people we find here to have civilised discussion about politics or Elon Musk.
