    There’s really not much debate because we’re no longer discussing different approaches to agreed upon problems.

    You can debate different policies to improve low standard of living. But right now one side’s stance is that this isn’t a problem they care to solve.

    You can debate whether current DEI policies or some other policy is the best way to address systemic racism. You can’t debate whether systemic racism exists.

    Debate happens when people agree upon one reality and disagree on how to address it. When one side is in a different reality, debate won’t fix it. I don’t know what will…

      The only thing that can fix it is the effects of believing in the wrong reality showing itself. If you believe that 1+1=3 and you try to do math with it, you will fail. The same thing needs to happen with any other discrepancy of reality and belief.

      The problem of course is that the delay between cause/effect, or the indirectness, for many other things are too big for people to make the connection, as well as the unlimited amount of human mental biases allowing all kinds of manipulation. For that, I have no solution, apart from showing people how good of a life you can live if you fight against your own mental biases.
