The other part of the problem is talking about serious issues - politics being but one of many - over the internet. Without the subtleties of intonation and body language, [nobody knows you're a dog]. Political discourse is a great example of how the richness of the internet and social media has actually turned important public discussions into low-resolution caricatures of nature discussion, home to a lot of bomb-throwing rhetoric, tribalism, and vitriolic rancor.

Internet and
social media are different things. Agreed social media is corrosive; it's time to switch Section 230.
Internet also encompasses free and open-source software. That's where real magic lies, read Richard Stallman (
Free Software Foundation) and Eric S. Raymond (
The Cathedral and the Bazaar)
