Throughout COVID-19 it became clear that most people only looked for evidence to support their beliefs; political sides became polarising.
It made me realise that people at each end of the spectrum are both boring and somewhat ignorant; if you aren’t open to changing your mind when presented with new information then you might as well be a lump of clay, don’t you think?
The middle ground is far more interesting and nuanced. Some people reading this will agree, and I’m sure others will continue with their lump of clay interpretations.
If you keep saying ‘the bad guy won’ and judging everyone who supports them as an idiot, then you are playing right into the ‘good vs evil’ fallacy.
At the South Island Show Jumping Champs late last year, my daughters won the classes they were entered in.
A while ago we were at a horse show. Zara and I walked the course, and I read the jump off and told Zara what it was.
