Fascinating convo today w a college student whose self-created major in cognitive science + tangential subjects made me jealous of getting to create lots of independent studies and spend 4 years on a bespoke course of study. I should have done more independent studies in college — PolitiTweet.org

1. We were made aware of the needless harms it causes, especially to the least advantaged people in society, and how the well-connected exploit it while rent-seeking. 2. We felt a moral imperative to oppose it and tell others about its harms. 3. Some listened but many haven't. — PolitiTweet.org

@Gregin317 Greg, do you think white supremacy is the cause of literally every police killing including those where the victim is white, or 100 percent of killings of people of color, or 100 percent of killings of Black people, or a subset of killings of Black people? — PolitiTweet.org

Over time, however, I think Twitter has become more dominated by a -dunk-or-get-dunked on "conflict theory" rather than "mistake theory" orientation. And I think *everyone loses* as a result. — PolitiTweet.org

This is easier when, as with Derek, you've known your interlocutor for a decade and have high trust in their smarts and integrity. But I try, at least, to engage that way with strangers, and often benefit from it. — PolitiTweet.org

And to me it's a mental model that makes friendly disagreement--which IMHO has declined on this platform--more likely, because everyone is benefitting from exchanges. It isn't a zero sum game. — PolitiTweet.org

This to me is how social media at its best functions, at least for those of us whose main gig is writing more considered opinions for an audience of people who don't necessarily follow us in real time. — PolitiTweet.org
