Great article as usual, Imran. You did a very good job at making your readers (or at least me) tersentap and reflect on our biases. Coming from the liberal side of the politcal spectrum, I often find myself guilty of doing what you mentioned here — simply dismissing the other side without hearing what they have to say.
But I would like to add another point in your discourse:
Jordan Peterson had stated an intriguing idea regarding most intelligent individuals. He argued that even though an individual could be smart, they might just be smart at collecting information and facts that aligns with their preconceived notions.
Keep writing, dude. Love your articles and butter chicken.
