@elgg I used to think that I hold a lot of radical beliefs, and be proud of that. In fact, I still am.
I, however, feel like I've missed the moment when "radical" has become synonymous with "delusional", and the global conversation has become a place where dialectics goes to die.
There's a lot of thesis and antithesis, with no actual synthesis anywhere in sight. This sucks, and isn't helping anyone.
