Real talk

When you speak with a real person who supposedly belongs to a different 'camp' than yours—a group you hold negative views toward.

While talking here, you discover that on a variety of topics, his conclusions actually align with your own. He likely arrived there for different reasons than yours, shaped by a different worldview.

Please, I’m asking you: don't resort to name-calling, and don't be tempted to immediately dismiss him or pin your own 'camp's' labels on him just because it's convenient. That is intellectual laziness.

Try to truly engage with him out of genuine curiosity. Explore how he reached a conclusion similar to yours from an opposing starting point, through a prism you aren't familiar with.

Thank you for your attention to this matter :)
