Great points @zyx066 without a doubt the big 3 have exploited this mental flaw (confirmation bias) to their financial benefit and its moving us towards a world where people cannot deal with conflicting opinions.

There is of course something to add about tribalism, some behaviors that might as ancient as war, but I think this is just an ingredient to this potentially disastrous cake.

I tend to think these conversations, these types of reflections are my own way of enacting rebellion. if it makes one person shift gears in the slightest, its already a win.
