What is the center?

Lex Fridman and Steven Bonnell discussed the challenges of occupying a center position in politics. Fridman mentioned that being in the center often means facing pressure from both sides, which makes it difficult to hold a centrist stance. This pressure leads to a lack of acceptance from more polarized groups, particularly on social media platforms like Twitter. They also touched on the concept of the "bigotry of small differences," highlighting how slight ideological differences can lead to intense conflict within both left and right groups 1.
