Play Pause

2h ago23:17

23:17

We're quick to point a finger at another when anything's wrong. Sometimes the accusation might even be reasonable, but the point is, we have a tendency to blame others.

Humans have used debate for millennia because it effectively exposes assumption, bias and misunderstanding.
