The fetishization of "puncturing your bubble" is so weird.
Intellectual development comes from listening to a wide range of *honest* actors. Hearing out racist grifters and conspiracy theorists isn't meaningful diversity of thought. https://twitter.com/Olivianuzzi/status/1349735635259711489

Getting outside my bubble by listening to my stoner uncle talk about how the earth is flat for two hours.
