Or at least, if there’s something so compelling-in-some-way going on for some people that they want to keep engaging, at least we could hope that somehow they could be facilitated in doing mental work that will be helpful for whatever broader things there are. Like, if it’s a microcosm of stuff, if it represents some important trends, if there’s something important but hard to see without trying really hard, then it might be good for them to focus on that rather than being in a fight. (Of course, easier said than done(can); a lot of the ink spilled will feel like trying to touch on the broader things, but only some of it actually will.)
