At some point in time, you’re going to be confronted with a time when you are wrong about something and you’ll have to change your mind or way of thinking in order to be true to yourself and others around you.

But this isn’t a bad thing. The evolution of the mind is a natural part of life and if done correctly, is the path to wisdom.

In today’s age, this point is completely missed. Being wrong about something is seen as a massive weakness. If proven wrong, people may try to hold it against you in the future when you make other points. In the age of the internet, being wrong is the death of people taking you seriously.

It’s a mentality that has caused people to retreat to their corners, hunker down, and either shut out the opposing voices or maintain their position through various means of playing with the facts. You can see the media do this all the time, such as when Justice Sonya Sotomayor lied about the hundreds of thousands of kids who had died from the Coronavirus, and The View swooped in to make it seem as if her lie was still somewhat true.

These moments, like The View’s, expose a certain kind of asininity that attaches itself to one’s thinking when someone rejects the truth outright. A weird sort of mental crust begins to form that keeps you in a state of perpetual falsehood and before you know it, you sound like a crazy person whenever you speak.

Looking at the field of leftists at the moment, the radicals have never been in more control than they are now. Many of the decisions the Biden administration has made, be it the refusal to lift drilling regulations during an energy crisis, to the unsecured border, to the pulling out of Afghanistan, don’t make any sense unless you view it through the lens of radicalism.

Many of these people live in a fantasy world as we’ve seen. Some have gotten so high on their own supply that they seem to suffer some kind of mental and emotional break, die their hair in various colors, mutilate their own body, and act like children when confronting people in public.

But this blade is double-edged.

Don’t fall into the same trap and go so far into the other direction that you become a bubbled fool yourself. Not just for the reasons I listed above, but also because the activists, politicians, and media figures on the left would absolutely love for you to do that.

If you go so far that you only surround yourself with people who think in the ways that you do, you’ll form your own bubble and begin to form your own radical ideas. You’ll fight from an untenable but mistaken position that will cause others to run from you or cease to listen to anything you have to say. That division fuels more division which the left can then use to make a case against you and win over people to their side and way of thinking. Sadly, at this current time, they’re far better equipped than the right to do such a thing given their total control of all major platforms, save a select few.

The worst thing that would ever happen to the left is if we all started talking to each other respectfully, debated, held conversations, and treated each other not as monsters or “others” but as equals. It opens the door to change minds, and maybe you’ll learn something new along the way that would lead to a better understanding as well.

Bubbles are dangerous, but they’re a useful tool. Don’t let the left put you in one.
