How is the internet "tipping over" going to change what's fundamentally human?

Changing the interpretation of what someone said to fit your argument can be seen on the school playground and in Plato's Gorgias. It's not going away anytime soon.

Agreeing on an interpretation is the first step to conceiving an argument. Wrestling through this is a big part of having a discussion, and someone can always try to unfairly assume the interpretation that suits them, often the least charitable one.

I would be very, very careful about assuming that any observed behaviors are fundamentally human. Leave people alone to do their thing and you would get an entirely different set of behaviors. There's no question that the internet amplifies our worst tendencies, with a little help from the psychopaths on top of the big tech pyramid. It will tip over, because it's not viable in the long term.

So basically you're saying you hate charities.
