People already do this so much, I think it's better to encourage the opposite: A good reason to make & maintain friends with people with whom you disagree, I think, is that if ever your opinions change substantially, you don't feel a fear of being isolated for your new beliefshttps://twitter.com/kanyewest/status/1023678958556987392 …

Yeah, I find that I can see other people's views more charitably if they're friends, and even if I still don't end up agreeing with them, it helps me understand exactly why I disagree more clearly than I did before.

I find meeting people in person helps immensely. Then again, certain people are so terrible online that you probably wouldn't want to, even if they're decent people in real life

Yes the personal connection can make a big difference!

. . . yeah, I know I can totally trust someone who disagrees w/ me that torture, inequality, discrimination, civil & human rights violations, war crimes, sexual violence, or destruction of the planet are wrong. Hard pass. None of these positions contribute to my enlightenment.

It’s not my impression that this sort of view was implied by what
@salonium wrote, and it certainly isn’t a consequence of what I wrote. There are many areas of reasonable disagreement among morally invested people that fall short of the extreme examples you raise. -
. . . Kanye said go out into the world & find people who share your PASSIONS (not superficial like pineapple on pizza), those people are your FRIENDS (biochemical platonic pair bonding). I don't have to pair bond w/ someone to exchange info/experience, those are ACQUAINTANCES.
