You are very good at communicating your ideas and putting them into a readable format. Thanks for posting this. It gives me so much to think about and a lot of interesting things to go down rabbit holes with. While reading this, I kept coming back to a quote I read about a year ago and have been applying a lot to the sorts of things you're talking about:
“The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn. ”
― Alvin Toffler
While it is a simplification of the heart of your article, I think it applys well and this is something I'm advocating to those who are close to me in my life, the importance of keeping an open mind and allowing new information to come in; not jumping to conclusions before having enough evidence, and all the critical thinking things that I value so much.
Twitter format seems to be a culpit here, with it encouraging pithy dunks on "liberals who ruin everything", "stupid white people" and similar demagoguery.

Thank you for these excellent words from Toffler!
