The Rubik’s Cube Of ‘Right & Wrong’ In The Information Era

Yale University has been doing some very enlightening research into how individuals and/or groups tend to be suspicious of information that contradicts their worldview and open to information that supports it.

We live in a time when one only has to type the correct assembly of words into a Google search field to ’solidly’ confirm their own views with any number of research projects now available online.

So will the general public scoff at Yale’s research if it means they might have to open their minds to the idea that maybe there really is more than one side to any given view?

We are supposedly living in an advanced, enlightened age. Isn’t it possible that there are more important ideals than being right or wrong?
