@amerika @Nonilex soemtimes the duty is to engage with people you find distasteful and see from their perspective to better debate them. rather then sweep them under the rug.

@twotwenty @Nonilex

I agree. @wjmaggos and I had a great conversation about the nature of #LiberalValues in this regard: better to talk it out than to let things fester in the dark.

@amerika @Nonilex @wjmaggos that is the utter truth..

I am with dr martin luther and voltair on this quote.

"I may not agree with what you say but I would defend to the death your right to say it"

I find a ton or radical stuff distasteful but I like to know whats going on and I try to empathize to how they become that way.

I am not scared to listen to shit I disagree with and radical vernaculars cause I am in control of my own thoughts.

@twotwenty @Nonilex @wjmaggos

This seems the healthy and balanced attitude to me.

Echo chambers reinforce prejudices and illusions.

#OpenDiscussion seems to make everyone understand each other more, even if pluralism a.k.a. "agree to disagree."

@amerika @Nonilex @wjmaggos I hope its these core concepts that most would agree when taken out of the anaerobic echo chambers, this is how humanity needs to move forward to avoid destruction.

@twotwenty @Nonilex @wjmaggos

Very true. The biggest threat to us is the elephant in the room, or the varied stuff no one will discuss.

Right now I am reading about biodiversity loss and thinking this one needs more participation from all sides.

They are driven away by an insistence that anything but the solution idea currently in vogue should not be accepted.

@twotwenty @Nonilex

Even more, as someone with some years of online experience...

We who discuss stuff are the few, and everyone else reads and assess.

We have a duty to explore all ideas.

@zleap @Nonilex exactly.. and groups of parents can make block lists to share to make it easy.

This is the beauty of ground up organic systems.
