Controversial - the place to discuss controversial topics

You mean Carl Sagan’s masterwork a demon haunted world?

yep.

It did keep pointing out that engagement/understanding is needed with the other sides.

"The chief deficiency I see in the skeptical movement is in its polarization: Us vs. Them — the sense that we have a monopoly on the truth; that those other people who believe in all these stupid doctrines are morons; that if you’re sensible, you’ll listen to us; and if not, you’re beyond redemption. This is unconstructive… Whereas, a compassionate approach that from the beginning acknowledges the human roots of pseudoscience and superstition might be much more widely accepted. If we understand this, then of course we feel the uncertainty and pain of the abductees, or those who dare not leave home without consulting their horoscopes, or those who pin their hopes on crystals from Atlantis." - Sagan

Everyone is mocking an out-group or the other since 2014, it's reached saturation.... inescapable. Echo chamber thinking has become routine, exactly opposite of Pale Blue Dot thinking.
