Welcome back to the JordanSci many podcasts. Thank you so much for listening. This is the fifth installment

I believe could be mistaken, but I think it's the fifth installment of the series called Jordan Stinks.

Now, if you've never heard of Jordan Stinks episode before, you can go back and my archives on iTunes or Spotify or SoundCloud

wherever you're listening and listen to all of the episodes. But briefly, Jordan Stinks is,

it happens once every four to six weeks or so in which I go to my Instagram and I ask for my audience to tell me what they disagree with me on.

And I do this for a number of reasons, but before I tell you the main reason, I want to make one thing abundantly clear.

If you ever participate and you tell me what you disagree with me on, I will never, ever say your name or blast you publicly.

That is not the goal of what I'm doing. I completely and utterly disagree with anybody who thinks it's appropriate to publicly and openly blast someone by name, especially in a context such as this.

It's just not something I'm comfortable with and I don't think it's right.

One of the reasons I love doing this series is because I am very open to being wrong and I'm very open to understanding that I have and will continue to make mistakes.

And one of the greatest benefits I've gotten from doing this series is having people tell me what they think I could do better.

It's given me a lot to think about. I think I improve every time I do one of these episodes because I learn what people need more from me.

Now, obviously there are some things that I openly disagree with with what other people say and I'll address those as well.

But I think one of the main issues and this is part of human nature. It's not anything to do with society. It's part of human nature.

I think we tend to surround ourselves with people who agree with us. Morely ethically, spiritually, this is what we do is humans.

And it makes a lot of sense from an evolutionary perspective, from an ideological perspective, in every perspective imaginable.

It makes sense that you'd want to surround yourself with people who share the same beliefs and morals and ethics and whatnot with you.

The major issue with that, I think, is the more you do that, the more you put yourself in an echo chamber.

The more you ignore beliefs and ideas and ideologies and philosophies and systems that you just don't agree with, the more you dig yourself deeper into what you currently think is correct.

And this is where I believe the saying, an old dog can't learn new tricks. Like you can't teach an old dog new tricks.

I think it comes from that because as you get older, you continue to bury yourself into the beliefs that you just think are correct and you tend to silence anything that strays from that.

So I like the idea of promoting finding disagreements, finding things that people disagree with you on and finding things that you disagree with and having open discussions about it, open discussions, knowing that you can be wrong.
