What specific steps did you take to achieve cognitive diversity and depth?
discussion with others is what helped me most

it made me understand how people outside my circle understood certain things and i was able to stand on their shoes from that angle and we both got to make a conclusion at the end

the answer is just to talk and to talk to other people a lot even with people you would normally not so why not? You never know what you can get

It's quite risky to break out of the bubble/shield we are cocooned in, which is mostly formed by good quality information we consume & believe. It's what keeps us free from bondage, protects us from bad influences and invasion from outside world.

If you believe in the wrong information, you could easily be influenced or controlled by a "puppet master", who is the source of the information, via information strings you are attached to. You could be attached to the information you trust or believe. It's dangerous to trust the wrong things.
Ofcourse the bubble is real, and formed by the information we trust or believe in. If you believe in lies or bad information, and continue to believe, the bubble would weaken and eventually burst

We should rather listen to and believe diverse information that are true and of good quality. This can make us very secure, powerful and influential.

Make use of whatever info that can be helpful.
Not all information could be of good to you.
Pick whatever that works for you.

In the era of information overload, we are often trapped by algorithms and our own interests, confined within "information cocoons" that limit our access to diverse perspectives and knowledge. How did you realize that you were stuck in an information cocoon? What specific steps did you take to achieve cognitive diversity and depth?
