    You have to go out of your way to find opinions other than your own.

    We tune into those newscasts that broadcast the news in the way we want to hear it.

    It’s worse on the internet where the bots figure out what you like to read and serve you mostly, if not completely, content that is similar.

    Sponsors know this. They may advertise on both FOX and MSNBC but you are more likely to buy their product if it is associated with a program you like to see or article you like to read.

    One of Stephen Covey’s “7 Habits of Highly Effective People” is “Seek first to understand then to be understood.”

    The normal human reaction when we hear something with which we disagree is “Red Alert! Shields up!. Arm photon torpedoes! Lock phasers on target!” And our brain turns over computer bank after computer bank to planning the attack. “As soon as he shuts up, I’m going down his throat with both feet.”

    With computer processing tied up and the klaxons on the bridge going off constantly, it is difficult to hear what the other person is saying.

    Perhaps the proper response is, “Open a hailing frequency.”

    The key to success with this habit is the word, “understanding.” You only have to understand; you do not have to agree. You know you’ve accomplished this if you can make your opponent’s argument as effectively as he can. Of course, you are going to have to fight through the emotions – and most arguments, political and otherwise, are based on emotion rather than fact. Lately, the primary emotion is usually fear: your opponent is afraid.

    In one of the many courses in communications that I have taken in the past 50+ years, I picked up a statistic that in 40% of all disputes, there is no significant disagreements, there is merely a difference in understanding

    As for the other 60%, if you truly understand your opponent’s point of view then you are in a better position to counter it.

    Well of course they are. The pledge of allegiance is pretty obvious, no? Not complaining. Just observing.

    Echo: "The government is benign and trustworthy. Also, “war is peace, freedom is slavery, ignorance is strength” from George Orwell’s novel “1984”.

    I read something somewhere that I’ve been unable to confirm; that on Parler discussion areas are called “chambers”, and that to forward something is to “echo”. Anyone know if that’s true?

    It’s always been that way. I remember saying the pledge of allegiance and going to Sunday school when I was a kid.
