Darren makes the following comment:
“The potential danger is this could limit thinking rather than expanding it. If people are constantly reminded of their past point of view, could it not encourage many not to move forward, but to reinforce their thinking of old?”
I guess like any tool, in the wrong hands it can be a dangerous weapon—or at least an ineffective one. Darren’s point is a good one. Past ideas should act as a prompter for new ways of thinking given the current circumstances and only regurgitated if the writer is confident it makes sense in the new context.
