Is there a way of knowing if one instance has blocked another?

If you're in one of them, what happens when you try to respond to a post from the other?

Fritjof Capra: “The #Physics of Connection: Understanding Relationships and #Ecology”

"Without a #systems lens, the full reality of the human predicament will never be understood. It is only when we adopt this kind of holistic, wide-boundary thinking that we are able to see the #complexity and nuance of how the biosphere, geopolitics, #economics, #energy, and many other systems interplay with and influence one another. But historically, the scientific #community didn’t utilize the power of systems thinking until a few groundbreaking individuals advanced and popularized that way of looking at the world."

Book Review: Escape from Shadow Physics: the Quest to End the Dark Ages of Quantum Theory

Sometimes you have to fight fire w/fire; decades of #misinformation tends to generate passionate responses like this. But does it go far enough? Not yet.

Not until the full range of human behavior is played out, with both sides going to the very limits. The fence-sitters, click-bait journalists, pundits, etc. will have to feel that something they care about is threatened, and that no one will step in to support their position anymore. Watching extremists pummel each other seems to be required drama for the masses of sheeple to make serious change to their world-views.

OTOH, we can also be very fickle, and while it moves slowly at first, the actual flippenings happen quickly, seemingly overnight.

It does feel like we're getting really close to that breaking point..
