How many of us, think for ourselves these days, or rely on video games, or social media forums to do our thinking for us?
How many of our opinions are formulated by listening/reading both sides of the story before making our own decisions?
I visit two social media sites on a regular basis:
- Truth Social for conservative views
- Bluesky for liberal views
What I find is that neither site has the slightest inclination to consider what the other side is suggesting.
What does that tell me or anyone who does the same thing as I do?
It tells me that each side does not give a rat's ass as to what the other side is thinking.
That also means that each side is not thinking for themselves but allowing others to do the thinking for them.
From 1966 to 1974, I was a liberal student attending college. The dates suggest that I took a break and that is correct - a 4-year break. But, while I was in college as a liberal student, I DEMANDED that I know the conservative viewpoint so I could make up my own mind.
It does not seem like that is happening in 2016, 2020, or 2024, must less 2025.
