Yeah. I tried to keep it focused on design, but I think you’re right — it’s a huge problem in general that is affecting American society. Today’s technology, in part, makes it easy to live in a world where a partial understanding of the issues is reinforced as being the complete picture by whatever communication/news/social silo one chooses to be in.
It’s an oversimplification, but it’s as though half the country understands only half the arguments for and against most any controversial issue. Meanwhile, the other half of the country only understand the other half of the issues. Each polarized side ends up being totally confident that they’re right while remaining ignorant of how their own ignorance keeps them from seeing the bigger picture.
