It seems we create a quite insidious manifestation of confirmation bias via social networks, Facebook, in particular. As we have gained more information sources, we have also made it easier to choose the sources that do not make us feel uncomfortable (i.e. confirm our beliefs).

As with the article I shared earlier this week about "The Other Side", a solution is simply to adopt a skeptical mentality, especially when it comes to information. And maybe even take it one step further: fully immerse yourself in an opinion opposed to your own. Who knows...you may just discover that you were wrong. And there's nothing wrong with that.
