In your view, what's causing the bubble to be worse now than in the past?
-
-
but suppose (merely as a thought exercise!) that action were morally permissible. how wd one try to fix media bubbles/polarization?
-
CRISPR.
-
Less flippantly: discard the kind of thinking that leads you to frame questions like this one.
-
You can't fix media bubbles or polarization in the abstract & the general sense. You are not capable of knowing what they are.
-
Abandon the universal, aggressively. How would *you* (not 'one') fix *your* bubble? How would you depolarize someone you know?
-
To reframe your question in terms that might make my viewpoint clearer:
-
"but suppose (merely as a thought exercise!) that magic were real. how wd one cast an immortality spell?"
-
I feel like you're assuming the answer exists and then expecting me to supply the details. I refuse. Epistemic moebius strip.

@Meaningness is hopeless? :( I had hoped you'd be on board. I thought he was being melodramatic at 1st... 1/ -
This seems like an aggressive misreading of what I said.

My apologies. Not trying to.

Rephrased: Do you think the idea of building a "4->5 bridge" is hopeless?
-
Oh, that was a joke. There have been schools for thousands of years. Low success rate/high investment.
-
All kinds of occult traditions, Buddhist schools, Sufism, etc. etc. But requires intense 1-1 training.
-
Need a superior mind, plus thousands of hours of training. And the training may be pointless.

not to derail, because following this thread with interest, but why is action morally wrong?
-
(I know this is not a new thing, I've just never heard the argument laid out)
-
140 characters. Action is only *usually* morally wrong. :)

thanks! what a great abstract.
