@wjmaggos Filter bubbles and confirmation bias also seriously contribute to this problem.
@wjmaggos I'm actually not afraid of getting exiled by a community that would exile me for my opinions. I'm much more concerned, as are many, about something like losing my job.
People are understandably afraid of voicing an opinion that gets us exiled by our community. So we subconsciously reject information & perspectives that go against the accepted wisdom of our tribe. We're built more to belong than to search out & speak the truth. #LiberalValues
