It’s easy to self-censor the internet and not hear all the voices.
Therefore, it’s easy to forget that there are lots of people who hold very different views about things.
Different values, different thoughts on how the world works, different views on what constitutes evidence and authority.
I was reminded by the 1st April xkcd cartoon about Umwelt and I how different people could, in effect, be inhabiting very different worlds from me and those I hang out with on the internet.
