Pour Over is a collection of items I’ve read, heard, or watched this week that I’ve found challenging, insightful, or compelling. Hope you enjoy.
What good are our opinions? We see something on the news, take a stance that aligns with our previously held beliefs, and yell at each other. We get more angry without changing each other’s minds, widening the divide between us.
This short post addresses one problem with our opinions: we haven’t earned them. We don’t know the arguments that could substantiate and persuade. We don’t understand the other side.
