I use Twitter this way, to some extent. I consciously try to follow people with different perspectives than me and with opinions counter to my own. Sometimes I end up unfollowing those people if the signal:noise ratio is too high, but over time it serves as a way of introducing me to new ideas and ways of looking at things that I hadn&#x27;t considered before. And, because of retweets, I&#x27;m then introduced to more people with similar perspectives. Once you &quot;seed&quot; your timeline with a few people with different perspectives&#x2F;opinions than your own, this works really well.<p>All that to say you can use at least Twitter to intentionally break out of that intellectual isolation that can otherwise be difficult to escape.
