It’s nice to see someone acting reasonably and rationally. This is the best approach to change minds.

However, I fear we’re on a dangerous path. People need face to face interaction to adjust their perspectives, we need to take into account the emotional impact we have on the individuals in our lives. We temper our views based on this feedback. Right now, everyone is being tilted in the direction they already lean, and all perspective comes through a screen. Polarization is mounting, the mainstream views you as anti science if you even question wearing a mask, regardless of any studies or evidence you point to.

The middle ground is rapidly vanishing and once inflation and economic fallout starts taking hold, I fear this is going to escalate violently.
