Relax!!!

Let me tell you about two important rules of the internet.

(1) Everyone in the world has had different experiences, and therefore holds a different perspective on each issue. Living in poverty is a lot different than hearing about someone living in poverty. In addition to this is epigenetics, which includes the wide variety of genes, and how our genes are expressed depending on our experiences. For example some people are genetically predisposed to be liberal or conservative.

(2) Everyone is ignorant of the the point in (1). Everyone views the world through their own perspective.

(3) Everyone is ignorant of their ignorance.

Bottom line, it's OK to have disagreements. We'll continue to have them because we're all different.

Umm, forgive my ignorance, but what?!

Source please?

Here's one source. But there are better sources out there.
