Why Community Notes is cause for optimism

Community Notes is cool itself, but I think what it points to about society is actually even bigger. Society often feels really polarized. You hear people talk about it all the time, like no one can ever agree on anything. But actually, like Community Notes shows you people really can agree on quite a lot, even on super controversial topics related to politics and everything. Like there's a lot of agreement, and that's why notes work. I think that's a really big reason for optimism about the world, is it while it might feel polarized, there's probably like an 80% set of people that agree on quite a lot of things. And imagine if we could use the same kind of approaches we use with notes, but to find agreement on legislation or policies or things like that that people want the government or the world to do. Like possibly we could get a lot more momentum behind these ideas that the people really want and everyone would be a lot happier. Like maybe 10% of the people on the edges wouldn't be happy, but like I bet there's a lot of agreement that we are not identifying and if we did it, we'd all be pretty happy.
