This essay undervalues our agency. Let me explain. After the printing press, pamphlets with shock value spread rumors, dehumanized opponents, and caused years of war. After Europe faced devastation, Enlightenment thinkers and practitioners developed newspapers and journalism, and they institutionalized the value of political tolerance for political dialogue. This helped make the printing press a tool for deliberation as opposed to an obstacle to it. In our social media age, the problem is not the technology itself but the absence of liberal democratic values in the design of platforms. That trolling and sensationalism drown out reasonable exchange suggests a failure of imagination and ethics in how to build communication spheres in a digital age. There is nothing inevitable or predestined about the end of rational discourse. What matters is whether we can build digital forums that are not only more inclusive than traditional ones, but value understanding and dialogue over attention-grabbing clickbait. This is not the first time humanity has had such a challenge, and history will judge us for how well we met it in our time. theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/05/…
