Polarization is the End

Polarization is what does it. It kills any ability to come together and solve problems.

And by the way, before the end, everyone thinks the prevailing worldview is correct.

So you need to take potentially unmeritocratic steps to prevent polarization. I say potentially because in many cases, true meritocracy would have solved this. But I don't think that's possible.

You cannot let spaces and places be dominated by only one spectrum of ideas. Because that breeds out-group resentment over time. They dont need to treat those people as fellows. Whereas if 30% of the other side was present, they would. It doesnt need to be even, it just can't be swamped
