possible but not often practiced.
A line from VoL comes to mind "we all need to feel one up on the other"
we usually come to the table with a smug closed-mindedness --
liberal/conservative, skeptic/believer, intelligent/simple, alike because we
ARE all alike in that we have (are driven to) formed a world view in order to
make sense out of the world. It gives us a feeling of security. Anything
that would threaten that security we tend to attack in many ways, one being
the belittling or caricaturing of said threat in order to discredit it.
Directed at everyone in particular, including myself.
