“It's a fact of human nature that when like-minded people gather, they tend to become more extreme. This concept, called the Law of Group Polarization, applies across ideological and institutional lines. [...] In my experience, the more ideologically or theologically pure an institution becomes, the more wrong it is likely to be, especially if it takes on a difficult or complex task. Ideological monocultures aren't just bad for the minority that's silenced, harassed, or canceled whenever its members raise their voices in dissent. It's terrible for the confident majority. And for the confident majority's cause.” —David French
