I
was 16 when it happened, and remember reading a book about the tragedy
several years later. That decades-old book didn't compare to the detail,

The
lesson then, and it certainly applies today: when you listen only to
one point of view, and surround yourself only with people who agree with
you, you lose the ability to think for yourself. And the echo chamber
becomes a trap. Whether it's religion, or politics, it's never a good
idea.
