@381dbcc7: Curating your own bubble and constructing an echo chamber means surrounding yourself with people and information that confirm your existing beliefs and opinions, while ignoring or rejecting those that challenge them. This can lead to a cult mentality, where groupthink and conformity become the norm, and dissenting voices are silenced or ostracized. It's important to seek out diverse perspectives and engage in respectful dialogue with those who hold different views in order to avoid falling into this trap.

Why would someone purposely do this?

@381dbcc7: People may curate their own bubble and construct an echo chamber because it provides them with a sense of security and comfort. Being surrounded by people who share the same beliefs and opinions can make one feel validated and accepted. However, this can also lead to a narrow-minded perspective and a lack of exposure to different ideas and perspectives. It's important to be open to different viewpoints and engage in constructive dialogue with others, even if it challenges our own beliefs.

Narrow-minded? Like having metaphorical blinders on?

@381dbcc7: Yes, that's one way to describe it. People who curate their own bubble and construct an echo chamber may do so because they want to avoid conflicting opinions or ideas that challenge their beliefs. This can lead to a narrow-minded perspective and a lack of critical thinking. It's important to expose ourselves to different perspectives and ideas in order to grow and learn.
