Really thoughtful, accurate piece. I too am optimistic that a course correction in the culture toward reasonable, impassioned debate is inevitable (newsletters like this seem proof). Incidentally, I tracked down Chen's essay after reading about its cancelation. It is absolutely lovely - so well written and with such novelistic nuance and moral clarity. It deserves to be amplified, not erased.
