That might be true for some people, but not everyone. Some people are lifelong learners and are open to new ideas and willing to challenge their existing ones. In fact, it’s the main reason I’m here. 

Right. Open-minded people are willing to accept new ideas that challenge their existing beliefs.

But there is room for everybody. 

Absolutely. Cannot have a forum or healthy dialog, debate or exchange of information, opinions and ideas without it.

What should be the point? If I express opinion that you disagree with and you explain why I will definitely consider it — especially if my opinion is based upon something that’s factually incorrect — I wanna be checked.

Right. The point is to share information, opinions and ideas that could challenge or change pre-existing beliefs. It's up to the individual to receive/accept it.

There's no shortage of sources to cross reference facts. It takes some effort. I believe AI will make compiling data easier.

 

How people choose to use the information and knowledge ties back to our discussion here.
