This needs to be told to so many on Lemmy. The "all or nothing" mentality is pervasive.

It's USAian, in fact. That mentality has been bred in the US and exported via media, policy, and products. Disconnecting from US media can do wonders for mental health.

Flaw in our human design I'm afraid, either a or b thinking seems to sit very deep in our system also in other places

Itโ€™s merely a shortage of intelligence, not human nature--other than the obvious limitations of a hominid brain--to lack nuance in a situation.

[โ€“] huppakee@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

I agree intelligence can really help with seeing nuance, but there are also very intelligent people who are bad with this and things like nuance because their brain is wired a certain way. I'm not saying the prople6who are bad at seeing nuance are not able to become better in seeing a gray-scale instead of a black and white binary, but that this problem is not exclusive to Lemmy.
