Anti-Alias

Whether you flatten the world into binaries, or allow for nuance, complexity, and blurry edges.

Jonathan Goldstein and the Texting Debate

High fit

Anti-Alias is about resisting the pull of black-and-white thinking and allowing for nuance and complexity. Jonathan Goldstein started the debate treating this as a clear binary — phone calls good, texting bad. But as the debate progressed, he stopped flattening the issue. His closing comment acknowledged that Khalila made real points, not just debate points, and that both modes of communication have genuine strengths. He let the edges get blurry instead of insisting his side was simply correct.
