For me this was kind of an eye opening article.
Let's say I liked some historical novel by that one author. I searched for some similar books. Maybe I read some detective story on similar theme with some deeper meaning that uncovers human nature. Did I try to find books that oppose these ideas? Or did I try to search for a third book with similar message?
Let's say suddenly I am leaning far right. I read so many books on that topic and I know that this is actually a human nature and world is like that and so on.
But is it? Or I just saw what authors wanted me to see? Did I become more intelligent or brainwashed?
