Blogging is definitely quite “accident prone” if you take it to include the glitches prevalent in WordPress and other blogging platforms. Some “accidents” can be of one’s own making. I remember writing what I felt was one of my best efforts. For some reason I did not post it immediately. Imagine my chagrin when I accidentally deleted the draft. This was after an interval of several weeks so I couldn’t remember all of it and I mourn it to this day.Finally, I completely agree with Andrew Sullivan that blogging is “writing out loud” since my style of writing has always been informal and conversational.

Asking people how they engage with people who have different political or religious views

I was sad to see that 90 percent of the people who answered said they don’t engage and move on. That makes me sad that as a society we have written off humans who do not see our views. Better known as “cancel culture”. Whether it be the left, the right, a baptist or a catholic, we as a society tend to write off anything we don’t agree with. We scoff and fester on it. We never ask questions. We make assumptions before we even speak to the person. Why do we do this? Was it when face to face conversations started dying? Has religion and politics always been a taboo subject? I do not have the answers to those questions, I would just like to focus on the up and coming. How can we get better?
