Serious question. Does reading DU warp our minds?

I would say that your mind is warped, and that is why you post on DU.

When one reads DU, they see you're warped....

Reading DU, in and of itself, may not warp one's mind (otherwise mine would be long gone).

However, being so absorbed in DU that it becomes your echo chamber, and you treat it as a serious source of political analysis could very well warp one's mind.

Bot needs to define 'warp', because I'm warping my mind trying to decipher what he's going-for.

I presume he means artificially lowering one's IQ to understand whatever point is trying to be made over there.

Well, it would if ... :-)  :tongue: .

More seriously, DU's rules and enforcers all but seal DU-folk into a cave in which ideas and facts inconsistent with DU's Prog orthodoxy are excluded.

THE MORE PERTINENT QUESTION IS:

Does a person have to have a warped low intelligence mind to read the DUmp or does the reading the DUmp make a person have a warped low intelligence mind?

LOL... but also... Ouch...

I read DU... but... ironically... maybe... in the parlance of hipsters?

13. We would need to know what you mean by "warp".

Can reading DU create an unrealistic idea of the political landscape? Sure. Does it inspire hatred? It could, although nothing explicitly calls people to hate the other side. Providing viewpoints that are not as diverse as what is out there in society can inspire less openness.

So, ultimately we would need to know what you mean by "warped" to give the most accurate answer.

 :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Are you effing serious? The DUmp is post after post of hating "the other side"... open your fricken eyes for Gods sake.

I read the warped minds at DU for laughs. So much stupid in one place!
