    I’d say they’ll become niche. I don’t think it will go away though.

    I will always use fountain pens and paper until I die, and I think there are enough people out there who will do the same to keep a much reduced industry going.





  • First of all, good conversation. I’m enjoying it.

    I’ve been around almost five decades, and I can say without a doubt that yes, there are and have always been divisions in society, but not this segregation into hate camps that exists now. Not on this scale - previously, only extremists would be so disconnected from society. Now, we drive them into their safe spaces.

    Even milquetoast blue and red flag wavers are shooting each other regularly where before there would be some mild eye-rolling, and this coincided with the rise of social media, which, as you say, has always been segregated.

    Understanding and moderation comes with only one thing - compassionate discourse. You can’t do that if you block ban entire segments of the community.

    Did you read the article I linked? What are your thoughts?
