In this exact moment? Probably not. But perfection is the enemy of good.

    This needs to be told to so many on Lemmy. The "all or nothing" mentality is pervasive.

    Flaw in our human design I'm afraid, either a or b thinking seems to sit very deep in our system also in other places

    Itโ€™s merely a shortage of intelligence, not human nature--other than the obvious limitations of a hominid brain--to lack nuance in a situation.

    I agree intelligence can really help with seeing nuance, but there are also very intelligent people who are bad with this and things like nuance because their brain is wired a certain way. I'm not saying the prople6who are bad at seeing nuance are not able to become better in seeing a gray-scale instead of a black and white binary, but that this problem is not exclusive to Lemmy.
