the strange thing about the culture war:
- both sides are certain they're the good guys.
- both are certain the other side has lost its mind.
that's not a coincidence. it's systematic. it's built into the attention economy.
outrage keeps you scrolling, and scrolling is revenue - so the feeds just promote whatever makes you angriest, and the loudest 2% of each tribe becomes the face of the whole.
you're not seeing your neighbors. you're seeing a highlight reel of your worst neighbor on their worst day.
meanwhile the real problems - institutional decay, the ai race, the fragile systems we all depend on - sit unattended, because a society that can't agree on what's true can't fix anything.
this is the war on sensemaking: not left vs right, but noise vs our shared ability to see clearly.
the way out isn't winning the argument. it's noticing the machine - and refusing to be its fuel.
