Respectfully disagreeing over growth's future

I highly agree with you Rodolfo. This discussion left me with an insight that I didn't expect at all.

And that is about respecting other people's views. Despite having this ignorance awareness reminder:

"It's a fact—everyone is ignorant in some way or another.

Ignorance is our deepest secret.

And it is one of the scariest things out there, because those of us who are most ignorant are also the ones who often don't know it or don't want to admit it.

Here is a quick test:

If you have never changed your mind about some fundamental tenet of your belief, if you have never questioned the basics, and if you have no wish to do so, then you are likely ignorant.

Before it is too late, go out there and find someone who, in your opinion, believes, assumes, or considers certain things very strongly and very differently from you, and just have a basic honest conversation.

It will do both of you good.”
― Vera Nazarian, The Perpetual Calendar of Inspiration

Beautiful discussion. Well done to everyone involved. 
Like I usually say, debating with those who agree with us is important because it validates what we think, but debating with those who disagree is extremely important because it helps us either to better argue our opinion or helps us discover a new path.
