I understand the theory behind doing so, but wouldn't it be a lot easier if we just didn’t polarise in the first place?
There's a Buddhist parable about a man crossing a river with a boat. The boat is needed to get to the other side (let's assume it's a pretty intense river), but once crossed, it would slow the man down and look pretty silly for him to drag it with him across the land.

Use the vehicle where it's needed, then leave it behind when it's served its purpose.
