They serve no purpose any longer, except to frustrate and isolate us. There is a media environment curated for every political persuasion, no one changes their views, most deeply held convictions are pure bullshit, anything outside the Overton Window is ‘naive’. Sorry to be so pessimistic, but I don’t see this train stopping until it runs off the tracks.
Did you enjoy the book? I felt it was a little stilted and should have been an essay, but nonetheless a good work and timely.
