Quote:

"political discourse has become so repetitive, not just because people are stubborn. it's because they're incentivized not to grow. and the result is that everybody digs-in, delivering the same tired message, because it's the safest path ...

... we are in a culture where flexibility and compromise are powerfully discouraged, not just socially, but also financially. the debates we're seeing now are boring and repetitive because they're not about exploring new solutions or perspectives or about having a meeting of the minds. they're about reinforcing existing positions, or more specifically, reinforcing that the participants represent those specific positions. it doesn't even matter if they argue them well. the point is they stood up and were counted as on side A or B. and this makes real dialogue impossible ...

... if we want real dialogue and debates that actually go somewhere and evolve to the next level, we need to address the incentives. we need to create room for growth, for change, for ideas to actually evolve. and until we do that, we'll just keep seeing the same boring, predictable debates over and over until the end of time because that's what the system rewards. and what the system rewards is what the system will produce."
