A quote from Peter Drucker and a question...
From Peter Druckers classic management book, The Effective Executive, 2006:
"..the effective decision does not, as so many texts on decision-making proclaim, flow from a consensus on the facts. The understanding that underlies the right decision grows out of the clash and conflict of divergent opinions and out of the serious consideration of competing alternatives." (p. 143)
If you shelter yourself among others who agree with you, is it therefore likely that your worldviews, perspectives, thoughts, and decisions will become more restricted and less informed?

I so agree with you and this may be the reason so many people are miss and un informed. It is by nature that we automatically cling to what we are use to or want to believe. Great Post!!
