Caring for Disagreement: Response to ÓhÉigeartaigh and Corsi

Abstract This is a response to “Bridging Divides and Building Resilience: a Reply to Bridging the Divide: Using LLMs to Reshape Difficult Disagreements” by ÓhÉigeartaigh and Corsi. While I agree that LLM-based tools for navigating disagreement must be situated within a broader project of epistemic resilience, I clarify that the original proposal should not be understood merely as private rehearsal or as an individualized solution to a structural problem. I argue that low-risk epistemic spaces are best understood as local forms of epistemic care that respond to vulnerabilities produced by systemic conditions of disagreement.
