a pattern repeating everywhere seems to be visible. people are no longer accepting of differing views. worse, all differing views are usually taken to be necessarily hostile.

Ideas:

- repetition of clearly reasonable things can provide clarity

- some people are used to communicating during arguing or by blaming another group

- personally, it can take me both time and repetition to realise my viewpoints are ridiculous when they are

- personally, I like Nonviolent Communication, it can be slightly misused to set a norm for what is considered debatable communication and what is just flack. I haven't been able to use it all or most of the time, the habits are too strong.

and more importantly, each of these views are formed by an opinion based on information that is not directly verifiable by individuals. in absence of trust in the channels (supposedly) bringing us facts and institutions of authorities (supposedly) acting for our good, what are the possible futures?

I hear we can do anything, and it's incredibly hard.

What needs attention?
