RE: How Black and White thinking harms us all
I have a huge respect for your take on such matters!
I notice on myself that I often fall victim to black white thinking and taking opinions for granted without reflection. And I think steem is the perfect place to combat this. Here is no filter bubble, all kinds of viewpoints come together and that is a good thing.
There are many users here who actively embrace other viewpoints and some of the discussions here are pretty amazing, just by how respectful people can discuss things with one another, even if they disagree.
I mean we have our fair share of bad apples and mud fights, but I have hope for all our users who use this platform to advance themselves. And I am trying to learn from them each and every day.
Let us all learn a thing or two from each other :)
Great comment, straight to the core of the problem. Mutual respect is the only way! When there is mutual respect, good debate could arise. But unfortunately most people today lack emphaty and respect, so we live in a society of self-proclaimed gurus and experts that can't lead a constructive debate. And then there is Steemit. :)
Steemit had actually made this possible the world claims a whole deal of segregation and separations slap racism, it's not like Facebook where there is a limit to who you can talk too, and that's the beauty of the blockchain so many things have been achieved here, and many more due to the fact that everybody is within reach of each fellow user and their opinion.
Fantastic post here
