Looking ahead, one possible future is that the shift towards using LLMs to answer questions re-homogenises opinion towards a centrist, anti-essentialist consensus. But I think it’s unlikely that this could recreate the old world quite as it was; there is simply too much information out there and too many ways to get it. And as we recede further away from ‘The Age of Hitler’ that defined postwar morality, the power of that taboo on essentialism will continue to fade.
