Most people cling onto the first ideology that comes their way and stick with it

2019-01-18 04:32:26 UTC  

and how did you change your worldview?

2019-01-18 04:32:30 UTC  

That's why college is the ideal place to brainwash people

2019-01-18 04:32:32 UTC  

by talking to people?

2019-01-18 04:32:43 UTC  

The majority of people are stupid and most experts are either mindless sheep or smart but unable to express themselves fully.

2019-01-18 04:32:45 UTC  

reading different shit?

2019-01-18 04:32:49 UTC  

Talking to people, watching debates etc

2019-01-18 04:32:53 UTC  

exactly

2019-01-18 04:33:00 UTC  

thats my whole point

2019-01-18 04:33:10 UTC  

talking to people is beneficial

2019-01-18 04:33:20 UTC  

But you're missing *my* point, you don't have to go talk to some dumb leftists to hear different ideas

2019-01-18 04:33:38 UTC  

i don’t necessarily mean leftists in general

2019-01-18 04:33:44 UTC  

My worldview is finding who is beneficial to society and who is parasitic and it's a very useful worldview. It's neither left or right wing and since it is based on my values, it's never wrong.

2019-01-18 04:33:49 UTC  

i mean people outside of an echo chamber

2019-01-18 04:33:50 UTC  

I mostly changed from talking to people who were already similar to me, but we still had some differences and they argued their piece well

2019-01-18 04:34:04 UTC  

I don't think echo chambers exist without censorship

2019-01-18 04:34:05 UTC  

Tbh

2019-01-18 04:34:29 UTC  

The less general a topic is, the more likely I am to change my mind when exposed to people talking about it.

2019-01-18 04:34:43 UTC  

I don't seek out opposing viewpoints, I seek out intelligent people.

2019-01-18 04:34:48 UTC  

^

2019-01-18 04:34:57 UTC  

People who are worth talking to

2019-01-18 04:35:08 UTC  

People like destiny are a waste of time

2019-01-18 04:35:10 UTC  

intelligent people can have opposing viewpoints though

2019-01-18 04:35:14 UTC  

They can

2019-01-18 04:35:29 UTC  

to write off anyone who disagrees with you as “unintelligent” seems

2019-01-18 04:35:29 UTC  

Intelligent people have a long list of books they've read, concepts they understand, etc. and there is a 0% chance you studied everything they have studied in the same detail.

2019-01-18 04:35:30 UTC  

But a lot of intelligent people also fall for emotional manipulation/propaganda

2019-01-18 04:35:33 UTC  

idk childish

2019-01-18 04:35:40 UTC  

I'm not saying that Black

2019-01-18 04:35:51 UTC  

im not talkin abt what u said legitimate

2019-01-18 04:36:03 UTC  

Okie doke

2019-01-18 04:36:12 UTC  

People who disagree with me aren't unintelligent, but people who operate on the most basic level of understanding the world *are* unintelligent. Whether that's a MAGA Trump supporter or a shitlib.

2019-01-18 04:36:35 UTC  

You usually have to be intelligent to some degree to get to a level of understanding the world that's actually somewhat accurate

2019-01-18 04:36:56 UTC  

But it isn't intelligence alone, it's defeating confirmation bias and cognitive dissonance

2019-01-18 04:37:06 UTC  

That leads you to the truth

2019-01-18 04:37:09 UTC  

i can agree with that

2019-01-18 04:37:17 UTC  

You really don't need to be exposed to a group of people saying, "Build the wall!" over and over to know immigration, nor do you need to argue with basic shitlibs who want no borders whatsoever on the basis of their moral view to study immigration.

2019-01-18 04:37:27 UTC  

Yeah

2019-01-18 04:37:36 UTC  

I know what mainstream politics has to offer and it's all shit

2019-01-18 04:37:57 UTC  

None of it leads to the world I want to live in

2019-01-18 04:38:05 UTC  

That's why so much of my argumentation is, "Why do you support this?" since it's always about someone's moral motivations to support a policy.
