We will not break free from our echo chambers until brain computer interfaces proliferate(and maybe not even then).
The world is too large; there's too much to know. Did you know about these terrorist attacks this year?

Maybe you heard of one of them but there's a very strong reality that you haven't. Do you know specific details about the terrorist attacks? I sure don't.
We have a blindness to reality in whole. But how much do you know? You might use news aggregators to give you a better than average view of reality. However those aggregators are going to be biased. The reality you will perceive will not match up with actual reality.
Worse yet, the bias breeds worse bias. which is immensely worse when it comes to subjective issues. This is where 'bad actors' are created. If you oppose climate change for example, you are now a Nazi.
