Oddbean new post about login | logout when’s the last time you changed your view on anything bc of a public protest? not the reaction to the protest or the aftermath of a protest but because of the substance of the protest itself.
Can’t say any given protest ever changed my mind.
same. the incentive structure is bizarre to me at this point. it seems only a opportunity to socially bond over collective venting and almost nothing constructive beyond that. which is fine btw—until it inconveniences other people who have a right to not give a shit (blocking roads, destroying property, etc).
