Echo chambers develop when you are only reading things you already know, not things you agree with. It's about learning new things vs. keeping your worldview narrow. Like if you have an opinion on climate change, reading arguments from deniers doesn't expand your worldview. Reading about how climate change affects different social classes can expand your worldview -- and all be from people you already agree with.
- abdullahkhalids 6y agoThat's not what I mean. Climate-change denial is a very specific issue, and empirical in nature. When I say ideological difference, I mean people who have different fundamental values. Say socialism vs capitalism. People from both those camps can disagree with each other, but still respect the arguments others make and learn from those arguments. Obviously, when I say arguments I mean academia level arguments, not party-rally-slogan level arguments.
