Loving it so far!
"We are disoriented, unable to speak the same language or recognize the same truth. We are cut off from one another and from the past.
" . . . the scattering of people who had been a community.
"Babel is not a story about tribalism; it’s a story about the fragmentation of everything."
Of everything.

Good piece. Jonathan Haidt is reliable.
Education is extremely important.

Forging on . . . This is an important article. It turned my general dismay at social media from a mental pile of spaghetti into a neat line. I've bookmarked it.
He has a very interesting and creative and punchy writing style. Like: " . . . social media deputizes everyone to administer justice with no due process . . . When our public square is governed by mob dynamics unrestrained by due process, we don’t get justice and inclusion; we get a society that ignores context, proportionality, mercy, and truth."
And I love how he hooked us back to James Madison's examination of this very concept. Loved the continuum.
An awful but true indictment that we must be always consciously aware of even as we're wallowing in it -- for the sake of our humanity.
Thanks for posting this, Mik.
