Strong appreciation for this comment/strong endorsement of the warnings it provides. However, I do nevertheless continue to think it’s well-suited to important topics, having seen it productively used on important topics in my own experience.
“Important” was not the right word, I agree; I took a slightly better stab at it in the last paragraph of my reply to ZeitPolizei upthread. Vocabulary aside, would you agree that there’s a class of cultural values that this framing doesn’t help you talk about?
I want to think further and also want to answer you now, so: knee-jerk response without too much thought is something like “there’s a class of cultural values that this framing is insufficient to help you talk about, but it feels to me like a piece of the puzzle that lets you bridge the gap.”
i.e. I agree there are ways this can be counterproductive for whole categories of important communication. But I’d probably route through this thing anyway, given my current state of knowledge?
Would not be surprised to find myself talked out of this viewpoint.
