I'd rather be naive and keep working towards addressing cognitive biases than be cynical and suggest that we cannot speak out for/against our beliefs.

not the first time I've been called cynical. I'm not, actually, but I am realistic. you can say anything you want. nobody is stopping you. what end does it serve? what is achieved? how will your truth interact with someone elses' lies?

Last I checked we are all on Twitter saying things. Why?

I choose who I speak to very carefully. I'm speaking to you now because I believe you to be a thoughtful and intelligent person who might learn from my perspective, and might share a perspective I can learn from. in general that isn't my expectation.
-
I feel the same about you. Can we have a virtual bro hug now?
