Birds of a Feather
For today's good non-fiction reading, check out this article from The Washington Post:
"Why Everyone You Know Thinks the Same as You"
My favorite part:
"I often hear people say with absolute certainty that whoever they are in favor of is obviously going to do well because they haven't talked to 'anyone' who supports the other person" in the election, said Lynn Smith-Lovin, a Duke University sociologist who has studied homophily. She rolled her eyes and said, "Oh yeah, sure! That is a good argument."
That's hilarious! And so ridiculously true.
Making mental note to seek out more people who aren't like me…
