It's who you know

mevennen posted a fascinating link to this article on homophily.

It's something worth mulling over, the tendency of like to seek like, to want our opinions and biases reinforced rather than challenged. It's certainly easy to sometimes con yourself into believing what "the smart people" say over what your instincts are telling you—something I have been pondering a great deal lately.

I may even blog about it one day if I can ever sort it out in my own head. Perhaps I should challenge myself by having coffee with a troll. Nothing like the opposite of what you believe to help you clarify what it is you do believe.
