It can be really interesting when involved in longer threads on a given topic. You can literally watch people's confirmation bias in action, as they work their way down the thread, picking out the tweets that make them feel good about their own viewpoint for RTs/Favs. No debate.

And yet we learn by sharing different points of view. Debate is really important if anyone is going to learn anything.

I entirely agree. I look out for opinions that clash with mine to debate people. If we can't both be right, then one of us will be teaching and one of us learning. I don't mind either role, but only debate can determine which is which.

Agree,So many opinions out there! I try to make informed decisions but it helps if the data is correct! Sometimes both/all points of view can be valid, at times we need to agree to disagree.

1. Listen to everybody (no matter who they are). 2. Believe nobody (no matter who they are). 3. Locate as much original source data as possible. 4. Make up your own mind from all of the above. That's all I've got these days, now trust is in short supply.
