Today I have been debating with a "christian", ultra-Conservative high school classmate against Donald Trump's abject racism and shameless nativism and got accused of being an apostate or heretic. At the same time I have been debating with a secular, ultra-Liberal high school classmate against Barack Obama's feckless and destructive Presidency and got accused of being a Trump supporter. It boggles the mind how limited and utterly predictable one's perception of reality becomes when one elects to exist inside a cultural bubble whose membrane functions as a grossly distorting lens through which altered inputs pass. Garbage in, garbage out!
