My friend group is pretty ideologically diverse, too. 🤷🏻♂️
Discussion
Mine progressively less.
I am more afraid of being in an echo chamber than I am afraid of having my views challenged. So I avoid the former through having a high tolerance for intellectual disagreement.
Agreeable disagreements are the best part of friendships.
My favourite conversations are the ones where you can express different opinions whilst laughing about it.
Self depreciation of beliefs is healthy, as is changing your mind with new information or beyond a threshold.
Once you've deeply connected your identity to your political beliefs, this becomes impossible.
