Why you think you're right — even if you're wrong

Let’s Begin…
Perspective is everything, especially when it comes to examining your beliefs. Are you a soldier, prone to defending your viewpoint at all costs — or a scout, spurred by curiosity? Julia Galef examines the motivations behind these two mindsets and how they shape the way we interpret information, interweaved with a compelling history lesson from 19th-century France.

Independent voters
With the hot topic of fake news this day in age, it is important to know what's actually true and what is not. For this reason, it is imperative to have the mindset of the scout. My question is do you think that more independent voters have the mindset of the scout or that of the soldier or do they have components of both? Would love to hear anyone's opinion on this topic
