I don't know, how about it? Give me more to work with here.

  I meant that as an addition to your list.

    No, I don't think that idea, holding it or conveying it, has commensurate ability to change perspectives or raise consciousness. Not comparable to drugs/art/meditation. Not at all.

      ...because what other people might have to say isn't particularly important, so behaving in a way that best ensures others will be willing to share truthful opinions isn't of any particular value? You've never had your perspective changed or consciousness raised by something someone said unexpectedly? If your answer is "no" I'd posit that that is a particularly interesting piece of data.

        Now slow down there slick, I didn't say any of that. It's a matter of what has greater impact. Drugs/art/meditation, as a rule, are a greater force for changing perspectives than ideas are. That's just how it is.
