It is important to take in views from multiple perspectives, but that's one of the problems with getting our news where we get our entertainment.
It becomes one and the same and blurred until one is affected by the entertainment and desensitized by the news.
You wouldn't tell someone who likes romance movies that they have to watch a horror movie to be well-rounded.
The problem is that if they have never seen a horror movie. My daughter didn't want to go on the piggy train at the amusement park because she had never been on a ride before. Once on though, the ladybugs, the old cars and the carousel were all good to go.
I agree with your principle, but don't know that Steemit or facebook is the best place to be educating ourselves
This was more centered to educating ourselves about Steemit and the technology here. one can't really complain about their experience if they don't even know what caused it or what is being done at that very moment to patch it. Many didn't read any of the blogs explaining but instead raged on the ones that raged.
That's a good point. And there are a lot of things here that people might not know they like. There can be a certain element of fear or uncertainty, but like with your daughter, sometime we find things that we really like just because we tried something new. That was the case for me and precious metals.
It is very important to understand at least the basics of the technology behind Steemit. If you don't know how it works, it can hinder your progress. Or you'll just be confused and frustrated about why you can't do what you want to do.
