Of course, once you willingly expose yourself to this blizzard of beliefs, inferences and conclusions, developing your own viewpoint becomes that much more difficult. Which could be the best thing to happen to humankind faced with catastrophes on morally ambiguous terrain. The access to views from all across the spectrum can only be a mind-opening, humbling and tempering experience. The complexities and perspectives that this hall of opinionated mirrors reveals is a powerful toner-down of extreme and kneejerk emotional responses. Today, minority opinions of all ilk can be accessed and heard easily. You may still fall in line with the majority, but it would be a much more informed decision than some years ago. And that is good.
