There's plenty of diversity here. Loads and loads. I see it in every single thread.

But it's different than the diversity on other platforms. The diversity on other platforms is like "should we feed the homeless or should we bomb another country?". And the diversity here is more like. "Obviously we need to feed the homeless, that's not a question, but we differ on how we accomplish that goal".

If you're looking for that other sort of diversity, you need to find a site with more sociopaths.

    I actually agree with you here. My first thought was the anarchist communities here. Sometimes I agree with the sentiment of a post there, sometimes I don't. I think we largely agree on a rough framework of the world, though, which is, like you said, different from the complete inability to agree on the fundamentals.

    one thing i have noticed here is that often people will engage in actually productive discussion even if they disagree. I also welcome being corrected, often that is the best thing here since it lets me actually learn/correct something with my thoughts.

    And most people here live in a city and work in IT. Like, take the 10% of your area that agrees with you the most and there's going to be vastly more diversity of thought and opinion.

    You know what they say about thinking everyone else is an asshole...
