"First you don’t hear other views. Then you can’t trust them. Your personal
information network entraps you just like a cult"
On the importance of trust and goodwill.
Via Theodore Ts'o, who wrote:
This is a fascinating article. And it puts to question whether or not "The
only remedy is More Speech" is always true. In a world where everyone is
rational, sure. But Richard Thaler was recently awarded Nobel Memorial
Prize in Economic Sciences for discovering that, in fact, humans are not
rational actors, and to assume that in the course of economic theories would
lead you down the primrose path.
