I like to think that I’m open minded to challenges of my belief systems, but that’s not always the case—for me and probably for you, too. Our echo chambers can be as deafening as they are isolating, which is why I love this story by one of our new writers this year, Sam, who reminds us that it’s worthwhile to sometimes step outside of our comfort zones in order to better understand those we disagree with.
There are caveats, of course, which I imagine will rile defensive readers (“You can’t reason with people who are unreasonable,” I picture them yelling), but such knee-jerk reactions only underline what I know to be great advice. Because while it’s uncomfortable to try to understand the “other side” of my own views, doing so certainly has its benefits. —Jordan Calhoun
