Fergus MurrayGosh, it's so hard to have conversations about difficult topics nowadays, social media is so polarised, whatever happened to nuance?
Now - here's a mainstream expert who's never listened to the people they've studied & hasn't paid attention to new research for 15+ years, to hold forth unchallenged!
What's that you say?
They're peddling harmful nonsense that's easily disproved?
See, this is why social media is no good for real, nuanced conversations. As soon as people hear something they disagree with they start hurling insults like 'that's just obviously wrong' or 'why ignore this research?'
What you need understand is that by platforming the same ageing experts as the media and politicians routinely consult, we are ensuring that these oft-silenced voices get a look-in where usually they would only be able to make their views heard through newspapers, government bills etc

Polarisation is very bad indeed. Frankly, it's the scourge of modern society.
Clearly the only way to avoid this trap is to simply focus on the correct pole, i.e. the one which has been winning.
