I read once that it is the mark of someone wise to be able to seriously entertain an idea you disagree with and either change your preconception or discard this new idea purely based on its merits. I try and work on being more objective in my ideas and the internet is a big part of this to me. I enjoy reading news sources that I don't agree with politically to get a better idea of what is happening from different perspectives.<p>Something that worries me is how vocal some people are now about silencing people they disagree with on the internet. De-platforming and such. This seems very regressive to me. I think this is not the right way, if you can't have a civilized debate with someone maybe more research is needed for a fully formed opinion.
