I am a big believer in the use of the semi colon; it slows readers down and puts added emphasis on what is next to come in the sentence.

You know darn well I'm no English major so take this suggestion with a grain of Sult.

"We’ve also, increasingly, lost sight of the wonderful thing called consensus, being able to see valid points in opposing views.", your sentence as written. I would change it to read like this,
We’ve increasingly also lost sight of the wonderful thing called consensus; being able to see valid points in opposing views.
Some folks may have their own meaning of consensus but this way you would be making it very clear what your meaning is of the word.

That's my two cents worth of constructive criticism.

Now I will say as I reader that I like the approach you are taking on this book. Like usual I am late to the party so I need to go catch up with your latest chapter.
I can tell you though I will probably be buying signed copies for all of my kids at some point when it is in print.
Looking forward to more,
Sult
