One isn't necessarily aware of all of the views one is developing a passionate conviction for (for better or for worse)
Is anyone talking about how to avoid this subtle creeping effect? Needs to go beyond "broaden followers" - more about avoiding calcificationhttps://twitter.com/starsandrobots/status/848252047778390016 …

I broaden who follow including some that challenge me with every post - also, follow young people, it's their world more than mine at this .
-
How do you find people?
-
I see that you follow more folks than I do though. I really just started using twitter regularly a few weeks ago.
-
Awesome! Welcome!

I agree this is an important thing but I'm not so sure it's limited to twitter!
-
Agree; additionally aging affects this, etc. which suggests to me perhaps there's actually useful extant advice to draw on here?
-
(Or that there would/should be bodies of research?)
-
Not research, but CS Peirce's article "The Fixation of Belief" is one of my favs on the subject, esp from III on. http://www.peirce.org/writings/p107.html …

I've learned to just log off when the echo starts getting too loud. Wokeness anxiety from being in my bubble too long probably isn't healthy
-
This is helpful short-term, even so I find long term I am much more confident of particular beliefs and surprise myself this way sometimes

It's a helpful reminder that I may not have grown, or been exposed to new ideas, as much as I've thought.

This type of self-observation (newly tech-facilitated) is so cool, fun, interesting..

One of Twitter's corporate values is "Seek diverse perspectives." I can't say the company always did it, but it is a useful admonition.
-
I particularly like how "Seek diverse perspectives" is in the active voice. Without deliberate action, you languish in familiar thoughts.
-
If we accept a home of our own making / familiar habit leads to indolence.
-
Yeah but I can seek diverse perspectives but also resolutely believe "they're wrong / just don't understand" - how to protect from THAT?
