Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
No, I don’t, and I’ve never really thought about it before. Being able to look at something objectively has never really been on my mind and with everything moving towards extremes (everything being climate and politics, the two favourite chew toys of the media) I guess it’s something I’ve sort of fallen into.
I guess there’s comfort in finding something that supports your own opinion and looking for competing ideas seems a bit like looking for something to stress about.
Cheers for the thought, that’s given me something to ponder on the way to work this morning 🤔
Most people don’t; this is what fuels division about any in group/out group system. Politics, religion, brands, sports…by not checking assumptions and bias, you are going with the comfortable.
It isn’t always a bad thing to have a bias, but it is always good to examine ones bias and prejudice.
