I think that ability to see multiple sides of a question and to understand that people will come with different information, which would guide them to different conclusions.

And also to say, actually, I can understand why people believe X. I could see the evidence they're looking at.

By the way, I disagree.

I think they're wrong.

And here's my evidence.

And here's what I think.

And that's completely fine.

But if you immediately jumped to the conclusion, like if you disagree with me, you basically want to kill everybody like me.

What?

Like, probably not.

Like, that's not a valid assumption.

And I think in part, we can get that way because so much of social media has become super toxic.

Obviously, Twitter, like the number of thoughtful, kind, thorough investigations and discussions of a topic by people who disagree with each other on Twitter is very low as compared to the number of people just screaming at each other.

And if the purpose of Twitter, as has been said, I think by Elon, but it's been said lots of times by lots of people,

that Twitter is supposed to be like the town square.

Well, it's a pretty horrible town square, right?
