On Avoiding Groupthink
Friend's FB:
"Every time I read some acquaintances' fb posts, I cringe at how bigoted they sound and I feel that i should delete or at least silence them on fb.
But I stopped myself today cos I realised they are in their own echo chambers cos their friends are mostly likeminded and agree with them.
I conclude that each day I should see some stuff on my feed that makes me cringe. This daily uncomfortable feeling lets me know that my way of thinking is not the only one out there."
