Infos

Coexistence requires compromise. Ideology may be useful when framing an issue, but it rarely helps resolve one. Unfortunately, it is all too easy to become addicted to remaining in our own closed loop. In Glorious Tension, Paul Hobby cautions against the perils of succumbing to confirmation bias and indulging the sugar-high of extremism. This collection of honest, reasoned essays extols the virtues of reclaiming the middle ground. It is a powerful invitation to substitute reason for tribalism.To succeed as a society, we must overcome the toxic internet nonsense and lazy prattle that pits those with differing ideas against each other. Glorious Tension builds the case for rehabilitating those who have lost their taste for the middle. It offers a vision for minimizing political grandstanding and restoring the processes that deliver peaceful consensus, enabling us to come together to celebrate the things we have in common.
