- nickrio 9y agoMaybe we just too lazy to find out how bad some idea is. LOL
- criddell 9y agoWe also learn from our mistakes and the older we are, the more we've made. When I think back to when I was younger (I'm 47) I realize how simplistic a lot of my beliefs were. These days I'm far more willing to listen to others and I make a lot fewer assumptions about why people do the things they do. I hope the trend continues. I think that's why I was a little sympathetic to that Google engineer that was recently fired for his memo arguing against Google policies on diversity. After I read about what he argued, I actually said to people that he sounds very young. His recent statements about the positive aspects of the KKK reinforce that.
- mythrwy 9y agoAgreed. It's something like acquiring dimension in thinking.
