no excuse for ignorance

1. find an issue you either really support or really can't stand.

2. google the exact opposite viewpoint.

3. think from their perspectives.

in this day and age, we simply have no more excuses to be ignorant. subscribing to a viewpoint simply because we "believe" without contemplating the alternatives is unforgivable. information is, for the first time in the history of mankind, truly at our fingertips.

sure, there's practically infinite information out there and we don't know where to start. sure, we'd like to get to the real truth right now, but everyone has a different point of view. every week a new report comes out that asserts and debunks a well-known fact.

by and large, truth and wisdom is gained from a process, rather than something that is given to us in a nice package for our instant digestion.
