Sorry that this thread was way too long and kinda all over the place, I am _really_ struggling to organize my thoughts about all this in a way which is both legible and actionable, and this is just it bubbling over. The pace at which events are routinely overtaking me is now itself overtaking me

What's bugging me right now is that I have a rhetorical strategy of minimal conflict. I'm not pathologically conflict-averse, I will have the fight that needs to be had, but I will try to avoid big, heavy issues in a technical context, because it's not really possible to win on those issues; consensus is won by inches, and trying to win in a big ideological debate is a detour of several miles. And this makes those massive, unwinnable debates a hard requirement.
