Nicely done -- I like your approach. I think social media has, for the most part, been a vehicle for people to cordon themselves off with a group of exclusively like-minded people. Maybe Steemit will start to break some of that impulse down so we can start seeing one another as people trying to do the best we can with what we have to work with.

It is only through rational disagreement that knowledge can advance. Absent civilized discourse such diversity of views cannot be resolved into a new synthesis, and, again, knowledge is unnattainable.
I do hope my use of absolutes here is treated as oversimplification, rather than zealotry. Concision is something I essay to achieve, rather than to give free reign to my tendency to excessive verbosity.
See? I'd edit that away, but Imma leave it as an example to me =p
