To take a stab at it, parent was talking about the difference between wisdom and intelligence. Or that there may be many facts which are applicable to a situation -- indeed, so many that various subsets can be used to justify a multitude of different responses! Discerning which facts and therefore which course of action to take often involves a judgement call, a portion of which is attempting to know all applicable parties as individuals. The portion in the original journal entry about filter bubbles and excising dissent from our daily experience speaks to this. We cannot make wise decisions without knowing as much as possible about both those who disagree with us as well as those who agree with us. Because sometimes the "why" or "how" is as intellectually valuable as the "what". (Not always, but more than none by a bunch!)
