On our drive home, we somehow end up in a discussion on politics, worldview variations, philosophical analysis, looking into history and how we got here, nature vs nurture, what inspires us, miscommunications, and sometimes somewhat controversial, but I truly believe in the dialogue which Plato believed was necessary: thesis, antithesis, and finally synthesis. We have gotten to the point where the mainstream is trying get you to cast out varying opinions, rather than having the discussion to hopefully reach new understanding and compromise. Banning certain discussions only sets us further back. I often play devil’s advocate in order to hope stimulate discussion that will advance our society.
