If enough people opt out of prescribed thinking, maybe we can begin to have more constructive conversations about societal issues and what to do about them.

This reminds me of Kirk Schneider's quote:

The capacity for profound, intimate experience is in jeopardy. Facebook is replacing face-to-face friendships and corporations are manipulating what we see, think and feel—as well as how we vote and get our news. In short, we, in much of the industrialized world, are losing our capacity for presence, discernment, and psychospiritual depth. We experience an ever contracting range of personal engagement and we seek after the instant and neatly packaged.
