This is so interesting - it's slightly different to the classic Susstein argument that we need to be in the same information environment to live democratically. Your argument seems to be that we need to be in the same physical environment to live democratically. I can't quite put my finger on the distinction here - I think the word physical is wrong - but I think it offers a nuanced view on the homophily/echo chamber/ filter bubble/ polarisation work that is ongoing. Thanks to you and Tawana.
