Loved how this has brought together past themes. There is a noble thought in creating a town square based on a principle of epistemic humility. Your question about will things change is harder. My hypothesis is that we will see little change. This is partly because we do not start with a blank sheet of paper, but with a set of existing players and dynamics that are determining their own reality. It is also because of the inherent difficulty of creating a moderating boundary around civility, noting that the concept of civility itself is seen by some as an act of silencing minority voice.
