forcing us to ever more strictly police what we read and guard our attention.

This is what is so bad to me. I don't want to constantly on guard because it removes the enjoyment of reading a thing. Also, I am worried that we are going to get to time where telling the difference is actually much, much more difficult than it is now. We will be swimming through a sea of potentially stupid and dumb ideas dressed up as well-reasoned arguments. And it will only be through some serious thinking that we can determine whether it is indeed a genuinely interesting new idea or a stupid one.

I'm worried our response will be to shrink the size of unknown voices with whom we are willing to interact. That seems like a sad outcome.

I see that outcome too. (Not that sure it's sad, just the inevitable consequence... new offensive tech vs reacting/developing defensive efforts to it)

If it is obvious to me your piece received your time and attention, then I will give it mine.
