i think a lot of our political and cultural polarity comes from how we speak. we state perceptions as facts. ‘x is’ rather than ‘x appears to be’. removing that margin of uncertainty turns opinions into truths (even if unintentional) 'The reality is that we don't have a monoculture. We have TWO monocultures...' 'crypto and web3 has been dominated by male...' i can't help but feel that when we remove uncertainty from our words, we remove space required for civilised discussion

at first i read this and thought: 'yeah, people should be able to speculate on whatever they want' but upon reflection, speculation and culture sit at opposite ends of the spectrum speculation brings the future into the present, prices attention over meaning, and rewards volatility over stability culture on the other hand moves slowly, absorbs contradiction, and protects meaning some things should be sacred not everything needs to be a data point we shouldn’t be trying to front-run culture
