so you think earth is a semi-sphere?
Clever. No, that's a matter of hard science. Not much room for interpretation there. But anything that's a matter of subjective opinion, yeah, it's almost always somewhere towards the center of the extremes.
so:
the question of should it be legal to sell meth to children, the answer is yes under some conditions?
the answer to "the Jewish question" is, 3million?
how about enfranchisement? half the population? what half?
how about slavery? that was literally solved somewhere towards the center of the two extremes, and it caused a civil war.
civil rights? well, Jim-crow was a nice centrist position.
etc...
Centrism is rarely the correct answer
You realize the opposite of centrism is extremism, right?
