An interesting article about the state of online discussion and debate.

I do find Elon Musk's point one of the most troubling, how do you get people who are unwilling to consider other views to voluntarily reconsider them?
It's interesting to reflect, too, I went to a school with a debating society, and even there you were considered a geek or whatever if you were a member. Nowadays people spend their lives doing the same thing online, but with less rules or comeback.
