I'm a bit back and forth on this, particularly the part about the "polarization mindset" prompting people to view their detractors as fundamentally irrational. In this specific case we live in now--where a certain fragment of society driving one of the main political parties is literally going in for conspiratorial thinking that is unmoored from facts--it sounds a little naive and both-sidesey.
The part starting at around 20 min talking about the collapsing of ideas to eliminate nuances is, I think, pretty good though.
