Some people think blocking & muting is necessarily the same thing as setting up an echo-chamber but this misunderstands the concept.
-
In an echo chamber you surround urself with ppl who reflect your values & politics back at you, confirming your sense of your own rightness
-
Muting or blocking ppl you've found can't/won't have an honest conversation is a necessity if u don't want to waste time on them again.
-
Many of the people I've muted or blocked have shared my politics & values completely.

May I try and translate it into Spanish? :)

Lots of people see establishment of givens & working through hypotheticals as just sly attempts to trick them rather than a process.

I find that the first thing required for profitable discussion is good faith. Elusive thing for those convinced of others' sinister motives.

The sort of person for whom this is relevant is the same person who is convinced that it describes YOUR behaviour, not theirs.
