Have You Actually Thought About It?

How quickly can we get into defending our position on a matter, when we may not have thought it through that much?

Did we do any research outside of our normal echo chamber? Was there any attempt at looking at it logically without the noise? Did we actively listen to opposing thoughts and try to find common ground?

Be mindful you’re not holding on to arguments because you would like them to be true more than they are actually true.

Most things can be agreed in the round, it’s just the percentages that we differ on. And sometimes those aren’t far apart either!
