i think a lot of our political and cultural polarity comes from how we speak. we state perceptions as facts. ‘x is’ rather than ‘x appears to be’.
removing that margin of uncertainty turns opinions into truths (even if unintentional)
'The reality is that we don't have a monoculture. We have TWO monocultures...'
'crypto and web3 has been dominated by male...'
i can't help but feel that when we remove uncertainty from our words, we remove space required for civilised discussion
