The conversation highlights the attraction to inner rings and the prevention of face-to-face interaction. They conclude by examining the motive behind the slapdown and the refusal to engage in meaningful conversation. The conversation explores the importance of inviting different voices and engaging with different perspectives, even if there is a lack of reciprocity. It highlights the dangers of dignifying every error and the need for clarity over nuance. The conversation also discusses the currency of credibility and the transition from a neutral to a negative world.
